About this listen

Savedra Severos is no stranger to intrigue. Mistress to the King of Selafai and daughter of a rival noble house, she navigates the treacheries of court with every breath.

On the eve of delicate peace talks, the court mage is found murdered. As Savedra investigates, she stumbles further into a web of secrets that enmeshes three kingdoms - entangling spies and sorcerers, lovers and enemies, strangers and kin. Among those secrets are Savedra's own, dangerous enough to destroy her king and her family if they come to light.

Traitors walk the palace halls, but the danger is more than political. Spirits prowl the city. Once a force of justice, now they seek only retribution - and they prey on those with blood on their hands. In a court fueled by schemes and secrets, not even Savedra is safe from their venomous touch.

Difficult to get into, but worth it in the end

The initial setup of the narrative is quite confusing—maybe it would have helped to see all the names in text, maybe not. Either way, the plot is very complex, and there are a lot of characters and names to learn at the beginning; however, the exposition does very little to ease the reader in. Once I got a firmer grasp of the characters and the plot, though, the story became quite enjoyable, thanks in no small part to the narrator's very capable performance.
