Summary:
Digger thrives as a spy and sneak-thief among the feuding religious factions of Gerse, dodging the Greenmen who have banned all magic. But when a routine job goes horribly wrong and her partner and lover Tegen is killed, she has to get out of the city, fast, and hides herself in a merry group of nobles to do so. Accepted as a lady's maid to shy young Merista Nemair, Digger finds new peace and friendship at the Nemair stronghold--as well as plenty of jewels for the taking. But after the devious Lord Daul catches her in the act of thievery, he blackmails her into becoming his personal spy in the castle, and Digger soon realizes that her noble hosts aren't as apolitical as she thought... that indeed, she may be at the heart of a magical rebellion.





"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine.  It spotlights upcoming releases that we are eagerly anticipating.

Oh no, another ban on magic. This is what has me yelling at Merlin (the tv show) every time I watch it. I will probably yell and love my way through this book as well!

Thanks for stopping by BookSake.

I have to admit I didn't expect such an exciting description from that cover. All the girls in period clothing on YA titles are beginning to run together for me. I am definitely going to have to check this one out. Thanks.
