Publisher Description
Nimona Weston has a debt to pay.
Her father’s dealings with the dark society known as the Trust cost Nim her freedom. There’s one way out of the contract on her life and that’s to bide her time and pay the tithes. But when the Trust assigns Nim to a task in the king’s own castle, her freedom is not the only thing she’ll risk.
Warrick Spenser has a secret.
As king’s seneschal, he should be the last soul in Inara to risk association with dark magic, but long-hidden ties to the Trust are harder to shed than simply cutting the threads. When the Trust sends a thief to his rooms, Warrick thinks he’s finally found a way to be rid of them for good. But Nimona Weston is hiding secrets of her own.
Magical contracts, blood-debt accountants, and a deadly game. An epic fantasy with regency flair, an improper and slightly stabby heroine with a penchant for trouble, swoony slow burn romance, and a dark and twisty plot that pits magic against kings, love against power, and a gothic underworld against a kingdom desperate to survive.
Customer Reviews
Wonderfully dark & imaginative
I’m trying to find something that I can criticise about this audiobook but it’s difficult!
In addition to the addictive story and characters that are believable enough to allow free rein to your imagination, the narrator has a voice that is perfectly suited to the narrative…no silly voices or bungled pronunciations.
The world built around the characters is never described in any detail so you are free to imagine this while concentrating on the characters and plots.
I could wax lyrical about how fantastic I found this book for several more paragraphs but instead just try it for yourself….Even if this isn’t your usual genre of book I think that you won’t regret listening to the audiobook.
