Corvin Dray has survived twenty-five years in the slums of Ashenmere by knowing when to run, when to steal, and when to keep his mouth shut. He's never been good at that last one. When a dying nobleman's confession falls into his hands, Corvin does the only logical thing: he accidentally blackmails himself into becoming the Crown's new Spymaster. Now a trench-rat in velvet sits among lords who'd sooner see him gutted, tasked with unraveling a conspiracy he can barely spell. Then there's Sera Vasik - Valdren's lead envoy, running her own shadow war behind diplomatic smiles. She is smarter than him, deadlier than him, and entirely unimpressed. Two spies. Two nations on the blade's edge. One catastrophically stupid decision to trust each other.
