The Thane's Daughter

By: Spearman, John J.

For fans of clever rogues, slow-burn romance, and high-stakes fantasy intrigue. In a world where gods meddle and mortals pay the price, one man stands between order and chaos. Dexter Falk is no ordinary problem-solver. Touched by Sylvaris-the fickle god of merchants, travelers, and thieves-he possesses gifts that make him the perfect man for impossible jobs. When a wealthy spice trader's shipment vanishes despite holy protection, Falk takes the case, only to uncover corruption at the heart of a powerful temple. Along the caravan route across a storm-lashed isthmus, he meets Agatha Voss: a fierce, disguised woman with callused hands, a hidden knife, and a past darker than the Kryyder Islands. Once sold into a monstrous marriage to save her family, she now lives as a wagon driver, hiding from the man who wants her dead. As bandits strike, priests lie, and ancient pacts unravel, Falk and Agatha forge an alliance that blazes into passion. But the price of justice may cost them everything. Award-winning author John Spearman delivers a sweeping tale of gods, greed, and gritty adventure-where a silver tongue and a sharp blade are the only things standing between survival and oblivion. One missing shipment. One forbidden love. One god who loves a good joke. Ready to hire Falk?
