But now the king knows Rae's location and has ordered his elite Providers to retrieve her by any means necessary. She must solve the murder, confront powerful mages, and protect old and new friendships - without being captured by the king, of course. And when the tides of war shift, Rae must decide how much she's willing to pay for freedom. Shake up a delightful drink, find the perfect reading nook, and nestle in with this almost-cozy fantasy murder mystery, blended with humor, sweetened with intrigue, and crafted especially for you.
