n a kingdom where memories can be stolen and illusions deceive the eye, trust is the deadliest gamble of all.Lysandra Ashford has survived six years at court by trusting no one. As a master of Glamour magic, she weaves illusions that make her invaluable to the nobility, and impossible to know. Beneath her perfect masks lies a woman haunted by her father’s execution for treason, a crime she knows he didn’t commit. She’s learned the hard way that vulnerability is fatal and trust is for fools.Gordon is a Mnemomancer who can read, alter, and erase memories with surgical precision. Withdrawn and wary after a childhood of having his mind invaded by careless practitioners, he’s built walls as thick as Lysandra’s. His magic makes him dangerous. His isolation makes him lonely. His absolute refusal to manipulate memories without consent makes him rare.When the King summons them both to investigate a conspiracy threatening the royal children, they’re forced into an alliance neither wants. Lysandra can create illusions to infiltrate noble circles. Gordon can extract the truth from reluctant minds. Together, they’re formidable. But partnership requires trust, something neither knows how to give.As they dig deeper into a plot fifty years in the making, they uncover a conspiracy led by Lady Celeste Hardwick, a woman consumed by grief and vengeance after her father was framed for treason through memory manipulation. Her plan is elegant and terrible: kidnap the royal children, force the King to publicly confess to the historical injustice, and reshape the kingdom’s power structure, even if it means civil war.But Celeste isn’t alone. She’s aided by other victims of the system, people with legitimate grievances and tragic pasts. And as Lysandra and Gordon hunt the conspirators, they’re forced to confront uncomfortable truths: that justice and vengeance aren’t always distinguishable, that the Crown they’re defending has enabled terrible abuses, and that the people they’re fighting might not be entirely wrong.
