She captured the assassin. She knew exactly who sent her.
Queen Alena of Draveth has ruled alone for seven years and trusted exactly no one. When her guards pull a would-be poisoner from her chambers, she does not have her executed. She has her interviewed. At length.
Kestrel has been a northern agent for a decade. She has never failed. She has never wavered. She has also never met a mark who already knew her file.
What begins as a game of mutual surveillance becomes something neither of them planned: two women who lie for a living, telling each other the truth.
But the northern army is already crossing the river. Kestrel's handler is closing in. And Alena's own spymaster has been a traitor for longer than either of them has been alive.
When the invasion comes, Kestrel must choose a country. When the dust settles, she must choose a queen.
The Spymaster's Queen is an enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance about trust as a tactic, and the one betrayal that turns out to be a proposal.
