Every secret has its price. When a seller of secrets is caught in a deadly conspiracy, she'll discover how high a price she's willing to pay to uncover the truth...
Among the unsavory streets of Oedija, Airene and her unorthodox companions scrape a living as Finches, exposing lies and scandals for a scant profit.
When Oedija's monarch dies suspiciously, Airene sees her chance to earn more than the next meal. Though her quest might prove fruitless, she risks everything to learn the truth of his death, hoping to make her fame and fortune.
But the ruler's demise is just the first piece of the puzzle. Magic, long forbidden, reemerges in the face of revolution. War looms on the horizon. Ancient spirits awaken, hungry after their long slumber.
And the secrets Airene reveals threaten to consume their world...
