Through a Spyglass Darkly

By G. Scott Huggins

Jehanne Dark has one talent: killing. Half-human, half-gorgon, she can turn a man to stone with a single unveiled glance, and for seven years she has sold that gift to the highest bidder across a fracturing, war-hungry Gallica. When a usurper's army corners the young King Michael of Armorica, Jehanne offers him a trade no one expects: her blade, in exchange for his crown at her side.

It should have been a cold, professional arrangement. It doesn't stay that way. But on the morning after their triumph, Jehanne wakes beside her husband's body - turned to stone by the very gaze she swore she'd never turn on him. Framed, hunted, and stripped of the throne she was promised, she flees back into the only life she ever truly knew: the shadows, the safehouses, and the brutal, patient art of the kill.

What she finds hunting her own husband's murderers is a conspiracy that reaches from a false pretender's court to the fae courts of the deep woods - and a truth about her marriage, her power, and her own stone heart that she has to decide whether she can survive learning.

Through a Spyglass Darkly is a standalone, medieval-flavored epic fantasy for readers who want their assassins lethal, their court intrigue merciless, and their romance forged in exactly the kind of fire that should have killed it. If you like your heroines dangerous and your kings worth dying for, Jehanne Dark is waiting for you.
