‘A delicious tangle of romance, fealty and dangerous politics’ – Tasha Suri, author of The Jasmine Throne
One false coin could topple an empire.
Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, has no intention of wrestling for imperial control with his sister, the queen. Yet he remains at odds with one of the most powerful ambassadors at court – the father of the queen’s new child. Then a hunting party goes terribly awry, and Kadou finds himself under suspicion of attempted murder.
To prove his loyalty to his sister and salvage his reputation, Kadou takes responsibility for the investigation of a break-in at one of their guilds. He enlists the help of his newly appointed bodyguard, the coldly handsome Evemer, who seems to tolerate him at best. But what appears to be a straightforward crime spirals into a complex counterfeiting operation, with a powerful enemy at its heart.
In Arasht, where princes can touch-taste precious metals with their fingers and myth runs side by side with history, counterfeiting is heresy. The conspiracy they discover could cripple the kingdom’s financial standing – and bring about its ruin.

This book is everything! The fealty, romance, reciprocity, world-building! I'm in love.

It's way better than I expected! It's really good. I feel it's been hyped up on lit social media, but it's actually deserving the hype. The world building it decent, the characters are well done, even the background ones, the plot is good too! It's a slow burn, but that is done well, too. It was a pleasure to listen to and I was sad when it ended.

Spændende og rigtig dejligt sprog. Men tempoet er noget sløvt, og den del tvists er ret forudsigelige

Den var lang tid om at komme i gang, men helt sikkert en rigtig god bog.
