A noble's daughter who learned to fight in secret. A scribe who never knew his own strength. Bound together by a lie neither of them told.
A noble's daughter who learned to fight in secret. A scribe who never knew his own strength. Bound together by a lie neither of them told.
One for what's declared. One for what's owed. In Caldreth, Lord Halvern Draye has spent twenty years balancing the second — in grain, in silence, in the debts men don't know they've taken on. Two people are about to throw off the sum.
Duke's daughter by daylight. By the time the market bell rings, she is Sam — a kitchen boy who wins at knucklebones and knows exactly which floorboards tell secrets. She was never meant to hold a sword. She has never wanted anything more.
An archive scribe who has spent his life making other men's numbers balance. What he doesn't know is that his mother's name was struck from a noble house, and a broken half-seal locket is the only proof it was ever there at all. Some lies are kept to protect the liar. This one was kept to protect him.
