The Lilac Child

Zini'la, a spy raised in the shadows of the imperial city of Nesher, uncovers a conspiracy around the old emperor's death — a red-handed cult, a corruption in the crypt, and a boy about to be crowned into terrible danger. To save the young emperor, she must risk far more than her cover.

About this story

In the teeming imperial city of Nesher, little stays hidden from Zini'la for long. A spy raised in the shadows, she moves unseen through palaces and gutters alike — and what she has uncovered about the old emperor's death could unmake the empire.

A boy is about to be crowned. A red-handed cult is spreading through the city's temples and docks. And a corruption older than the throne waits in the dark of the imperial crypt. To save the young emperor, Zini'la must risk far more than her cover — and learn at last what she truly is.

The empire is tipping toward a long night. One spy stands in the gap.
