For fans of clever rogues, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes fantasy intrigue. Dexter Falk and Lara Sigurd, the striking priestess of Zoryn with snow-white hair, are heading north so Dexter can ask her father, the Duke of Carick, for permission to marry her. But the gods have other plans, first diverting them to Monthierro to restore the rightful King, Charles Lamont, to his stolen throne, then to the unusual importance of the Laetitian Isles. They plunge into deadly conspiracies of vanishing ore shipments, ruthless pirates, corrupt officials, and treacherous nobles.
Award-winning author John Spearman delivers another sweeping tale of gods, greed, and gritty adventure-where a silver tongue and a sharp blade are the only things standing between survival and oblivion. One stolen throne. One white-haired priestess. Gods who desire order. Ready to set things right with Falk?
