Publisher's Synopsis
For a century, the Kingdom of Talamholean has known peace. But without war to occupy them, the influential elite have plunged the realm into disarray with their petty power struggles. Jack Sweep, a lowly guardsman uninterested in politics, has reluctantly become a pawn for the sinister Warlock's Council and the enigmatic Eva Valmarque. His closest friend, Lyndsey Carter, stumbles upon whispered plots and schemes, uncovering ever deeper layers of corruption. Victoria Lionsgate, a journalist seeking to expose the powerful, must tread carefully in her quest for the truth. As she digs deeper, risking more each day, Victoria wonders - is her search for justice worth the cost? Through an unlikely friendship and shared adversity, three ordinary people discover that the influential cabal ruling Talamholean hides dangerous secrets. Some truths are worth fighting for, but taking on the inner circle means placing a target on their backs. If they hope to prevail, Jack, Lyndsey and Victoria must stand together before unchecked ambition drags their realm into the shadows.
