The Ledger of True Things
by Cleo
Vera Cassel has spent ten years reading what other people's ledgers try not to say — and she's never met a man she couldn't audit until she crosses into Maerath, a city of perpetual midnight built from her own professional armor. She's here to investigate the Keeper of the Ledger, the man who holds every debt and obligation in the city, and the one person whose attention she can't price, predict, or explain away. The deeper she digs, the more the case implicates the very people who hired her — and the harder it gets to stay forensic about a man who's decided to be completely honest with her. A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers fantasy for readers who want their heroine sharp, their hero unreadable, and the truth to cost something before it sets anyone free.
