Pauper's Weatherglass
Where Giants Sleep, book two
The flower closes before the rain.
Robyn came home with a story she can never tell, and marbles she should not have. She has a degree now, a life, a best friend who asks no questions. It has almost been enough.
Then, in the crowd at her graduation, she sees a man who cannot possibly be there.
The Cage wants her back, and this time it will not take a schoolgirl. It takes a Baroness with borrowed papers, a smuggler’s ship with a wrong name, a resistance that trades in the one currency that matters, and a man called Lord London who keeps other people’s treasures because they are safer with him. Robyn will lie her way to the top of a world to finish what the missing boys began, and she will discover what it costs to hold on to what you win.
And under everything, faint as a fridge in another room, there is a sound she has learned not to hear. One note. Steady. Counting.
