Family Secret

My dreams are like another world — too real to be mere imagination. The visions that haunt me even when I’m awake blur the line between sanity and madness.

What if he is the key to everything I’ve been searching for? But also to everything that could destroy me… To unravel the mysteries woven into my fate and find a path to the light, I’ll have to walk through the darkness.

I am the best con artist in the kingdom. A master of a hundred faces. If it’s illegal, I’m the one you call. My new assignment? It’s insane.

To survive, I must face a past that threatens to incinerate my future. My only hope lies with the very man I’m supposed to deceive—an Investigator who would see me sent to the gallows if he knew the truth. But as our paths entwine, I realize we share a secret much darker than my lies.
