Book excerpt: The Corhonase citadel is a place of virtue and debauchery - and deadly secrets. For the Laurentine spies embedded there, every day brings danger.

Saliel has many secrets; her spying is one, her past as a pickpocket in Laurent's slums is another, but her most deeply guarded secret is the magic she possesses.
