Kingmaker
by Lindsay Smith
Vera is a spy for the Barstadt Empire, a powerful country with a rigid class structure and a seedy underbelly. Her mission is to weed out the corruption that holds this society together, but for Vera it's not political, it's personal. And her next mission is anything but routine, as long as she's not blinded by revenge and can see that in the shadows of Barstadt City, things are seldom what they seem.
