Vanda Kavanagh never expected her return to Caldryn Parliament to begin with scandal and suspicion. As the new Warden, she already knows she is an unpopular choice. What she does not expect is to step through a portal directly into a murder scene.
Her wards are sabotaged. A politician lies dead. And Vanda has just inherited a most unusual partner whose talents may be as valuable as they are inconvenient.
Now she must navigate scheming rivals, family pressures, and the dangerous politics of a magical parliament while racing to uncover the truth. The deeper she digs, the more secrets rise to the surface—and not all of them belong to the dead.
Murder, magic, and political intrigue collide in a world like no other.
