With nefarious people and deeds amiss, can she navigate court and ferret out her father's murderer? I was swiftly swept up in the beauty of the writing, the plot, the world building and most of all the complex loveable/loatheable characters. There were magical people being persecuted and there were rampant duplicitous actions abound. ![]() There was a budding/highly unlikely romance slowly percolating.
