I've been cursed, betrayed, and sold into slavery – but the truth I carry can't be allowed to die.Only Rae knows the extent of the corruption at the heart of the kingdom of Menaiya, from the noble lord who betrayed her, to the Circle of Mages whose wards protect the slavers from discovery. Injured and imprisoned on a slave ship, Rae’s options are quickly running out. When a desperate escape attempt goes terribly wrong, she finds herself indebted to a terrifying Fae sorceress.Now Rae will not rest until she has rescued her fellow prisoners and freed her land from the darkness that has taken hold.

With her debts coming due and time running short, all the truths in the world may not be enough to save her kingdom, or herself.

Children have been disappearing from across Menaiya for longer than Amraeya ni Ansarim can remember.

There she discovers an ally in the foreign princess, who recruits her as an attendant. Armed with the princess’s support, Rae seeks answers in the dark city streets, finding unexpected help in a rough-around-the-edges street thief with secrets of his own.
