FROM THE NATIONAL BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF JEWELED FIRE
In the latest novel in Sharon Shinn’s Elemental Blessings series, a woman is confronted with the past she left behind—and an uncertain future...

 
Leah Frothen has returned home to rebuild the life she’s avoided for years. But she can scarcely catch her breath before she is summoned to meet with the regent, Darien Serlast, the man who made her a spy. Leah is reluctant to take on a new assignment, but Darien has dangled the perfect lure to draw her in...
 
Leah finds she enjoys the challenges of opening a shop catering to foreign visitors, especially since it affords her the opportunity to get to know Mally, the child she abandoned five years ago. Leah is simultaneously thrilled, terrified, hopeful, moved, and almost undone as she slowly attempts to become part of her daughter’s life.
 
But when the regent asks her to spy on ambassadors from a visiting nation, she develops a dangerous friendship with a foreign woman and finds herself falling in love with a man from her past. Soon Leah learns that everyone—her regent, her lover, and even her daughter—have secrets that could save the nation, but might very well break her heart.

      For five years, Leah Frothen has been a spy for her country, but now she has returned home to Welce. Yet, after only three days, the regent, Darien Serlast, offers her another job she can't refuse. Opening a shop catering to foreign visitors who might drop choice information would also give Leah a chance to get to know her daughter, Mally, whom she left at birth. As she keeps watch on visiting dignitaries, Leah is drawn into a world of bloodshed and secrets--secrets kept by those closest to her that could help her nation but leave her heartbroken. VERDICT Shinn's fourth outing (after Jeweled Fire) blends a potent brew of politics and alchemy, set in a richly detailed landscape. Fans of magic-based fantasy with strong characters will enjoy this series.--KC
