"A gripping, well-paced first installment with a resourceful female lead." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

Bitch.

Bastard.

Orphan.

Ata had become inured to these epithets - her self-directed labels cut much deeper:

Spy.

Liar.

Traitor.

Their accuracy rent to the bone... But all people had their roles to play and hers was one of secrecy and survival-driven destruction.

For the greater good.

Follow Ata's travails through royal intrigues, violent invasions, and hard-forged alliances as she fights alongside friend and foe for the survival of the continent of Áitarbith. She questions old relationships and forges new ones whilst navigating treacherous courts and brutal battle landscapes, possibly finding love along the way.

In the face of an implacably ruthless enemy, as well as uncertainty as to who can be trusted, the final outcome of this struggle is anything but certain.

This is Book 1 of a trilogy titled The Chronicles of Áitarbith.
