Throne of Lies by H. L. Moore There are vipers in Arajon, from the Valley to the Bronze. Grace Harrington, the Dowager Archon of Arajon, is approaching her first anniversary on the throne she claimed following the death of her husband, slain at her own hands. But her position is so precarious that even the unwelcome presence of the former assassin Nathaniel Morgenstern, watching over her at her father’s behest, cannot protect her from her enemies. The city’s press has turned against her, the Bronze is rallying behind Odessa White, and her last hope of support from the Druids has gone up in smoke. The lies are adding up. A coup is coming for Grace, and she is running out of people in the city to trust… Adult • Romance • Fantasy/Dark • Diversity Representation/LGBTQ+ • Fantasy • Fantasy/Steampunk, Gaslamp, and Flintlock Content Warning: Drug use, past alcoholism, dark scenes, graphic violence, dark medical scenes, poisoning, assassination attempts, political intrigue, coups, death. |
