In the fractured city of Faelindor, Aralyn leads a double life - apothecary by trade, magical spy by commission. When she's tasked with gathering intel on the Moondusk Shard, a forbidden artifact tied to lost bloodlines and ancient power, she expects another shadow job. Instead, she's drawn into a deadly game of secrets and power-one that forces her into the orbit of a feared warlock who might be her greatest threat... or only ally. Danger brews beneath every deal. The shard whispers of truth, and Aralyn's past may be the biggest secret of all.
