Echoes of the past. Powers of the present.

Together with the mage Rafe, they navigate Nightreach's darkest corners while the silver-haired mage Cassandra hunts them through the twisted streets, determined to claim both Vesper and her grimoire for D'Arco's sinister plans.As conspiracies unravel and betrayals come to light within the Concordat itself, Vesper must master her evolving powers before they consume her entirely. But in a city where ancient magic pulses beneath the streets and shadows hide deadly secrets, success may require sacrificing the very memories that make her who she is.For fans of dark urban fantasy and suspenseful magic, A Frequency of Truth delves deeper into a world of ancient power and intrigue, where memories become weapons and the search for truth could cost someone their soul.
