Celyn Contrare is scared and meek, an escaped nun just looking for a place to hide from the terrifying Greenmen who would bring her back to her convent. But Celyn Contrare isn’t real. She’s actually Digger, a sharp, snarky, street-wise thief and liar who is very good at getting what she wants–be it your gold watch or your darkest secret. Right now all she wants is a safe haven fron the Greenmen, but she gets more than she bargained for when the boat she escapes on takes her to a life among the nobs, the nobles. There she encounters intrigue, deception, royalty, a poorly-timed avalanche, and forbidden magic. As she sorts out everyone else’s secrets, she’s bound to unearth some of her own.
This book great for readers who like a witty narratorial voice, a tightly-plotted story, and a well-fleshed-out universe. Also, if you like a fast-paced mystery with lots of twists and turns, don’t miss this one!
**Beware: This series is unfinished. Once you read StarCrossed and Liar’s Moon you’ll have to wait for the next installment!
