Published

She was planted among the ore-cutters to catch a thief. She never expected the thief to be the warden saving a dying dragon, one stolen basket at a time.
Corisande Underholt has spent six years working off her dead father’s debt on Cypresslode’s ore line, unregistered and unprotected under Duskmire law. When Overseer Osmar Stennick offers her a Writ of Citizenship in exchange for finding whoever has been diverting the tithe-gold meant to feed the court’s starving dragon, she cannot afford to refuse.

Her target is Callum Draye, the guarded Lode-Warden whose quiet kindness has kept Corisande alive underground since her first week on the line.

But the deeper Corisande digs, the less the supposed theft makes sense. The missing gold is keeping something alive that the court has already given up on—and Callum may be the only person who knows why.

Then Corisande discovers that the truth beneath Cypresslode runs far deeper than a missing tithe. Old records don’t match the stories she’s been told. A long-forgotten death may not have been an accident. And someone with decades of authority has every reason to make sure neither of them uncovers what lies beneath the Lode.

As Corisande falls for the very man she was sent to expose, she must decide whether the Writ of Citizenship she desperately needs is worth betraying the one person who has never treated her like a criminal.

Because the deeper she follows the gold, the more dangerous the truth becomes.

Perfect for readers who love undercover heroines, court-spy romance, hidden magical gifts, fae courts, dragons, forbidden secrets, and a slow-building romance between a spy and the man she was sent to expose.
