    Summary

    Policy 8 was established in the hope of encouraging the birth of increasingly powerful agents. All agents 18 and over must accept the marriages DEPRAC assigns them. Agents between the ages of 16-18 can volunteer to enter the programme or else be forced into it due to minor illegal behaviour.
    Lucy Carlyle volunteered. Anthony Lockwood was forced.
    In an effort to protect the two teenagers from being turned into pawns in the games of the rich and powerful, Barnes ensures Lucy and Lockwood are married. But just because they aren't stuck as pawns, doesn't mean the teenagers aren't forced into the same dangerous games.

    Summary

    When she arrived in London, Lucy Carlyle took up a job at the British Archives, spending her days determining which love letters, suicide notes and other collected paperwork could one day produce a visitor. It's a taxing job, made easier by king archivists and the presence of young agents doing research nearby. As Lucy becomes close with some of these young agents, she starts to receive love letters herself and finds herself using her under-utilised talents to try to work out who might be behind the notes.

    Summary

    “But… but, why Lucy?” He asks and oh, she is going to slam her head into the table. “Because of a few hiccups on a few jobs?”

    “I almost got us all killed at Aickmere’s!”

    “Oh come off it.” Warm fingers wrap around her wrists, pulling her hands away from her face and leaving her blinking under the harsh fluorescent lights of the café. “I’ve almost got us all killed hundreds of times. Combe Carey? The bet with Kipps? That time George was under the weather so I made dinner and gave us both food poisoning?”

    He’s thrown the last one in to try make her smile; she stares back at him stonily.
