    Summary

    A case that started with the simple tracking of smuggled artifacts and underground cultists goes even more sideways than Detective Neve Gallus could have imagined. Now she’s faced with figuring out what these artifacts can do, what larger plans they’re part of, and how she and her secretive new ally can possibly stop them.

    Neve and Rook have their work cut out for them as they follow leads, face their pasts, and get into some trouble.

    Summary

    “And that should mean I want you less? When have you ever known me to—“ Teia grinds against her, a wicked interruption that punches Mari’s breath out all at once. “Rude.”

    Summary

    Sometimes, Anora wondered if the Hero of Ferelden was amused by the ludicrously complex domestic situation she had engineered. Sometimes she wondered if Alistair was amused. She hoped he was, and not just because he had a pleasant smile, a pleasant face, and an even more pleasant laugh. She had come to enjoy his company. She liked him. She wanted him to be happy.

    If that meant welcoming his mistress as the new royal bodyguard, then so be it.
