Publisher Description
She’ll win back her freedom, even if she has to steal it.
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, clean, 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. Perfect for fans of Sorcery of Thorns and The Shadows Between Us.
Customer Reviews
It was ok
The story wasn’t bad. The ending didn’t give me any answers to everything going on in the book and the only way to find out is to buy and read the next one.
I was really annoyed by the overuse of the word intimation. It seemed to be everywhere when other words could have been used.
I was not left with the feeling that I just had to find out what happens next so I won’t get the next book.
Just not enough
Over all it was a good story. I liked the characters and the premise of the world the author created. It was not as exciting as it could have been the chemistry between Warrack and Nim was great at first but nothing really happened. I felt like I wanted more from the entire thing. The audience needed more magic and more spice and this just left me disappointed. The book was descriptive but gave the reader no emotional connection to its characters.
Pretty good overall
This book is a little hard to understand sometimes, but overall is a good book. I will be getting the next book I the series.
