Releasing 31 March 2025 – Illustrated Special Edition with bonus stories

Featuring 25 original watercolour illustrations by Kel E Fox

Expelled from university after an accident stripped her of magic, Ursa Torpalfab returns home gutted. The spectacular career she’d envisioned flying among the stars is over – unless her father, a powerful magician, can help her get her magic back. Except when she goes to meet him, he’s missing, and her family won’t tell her where he is.

Disavowed spy Del Fevre wants only to be left in peace. But the art that keeps food on his table is illegal, so when his latest piece is stolen, he scrambles to find it before the illicit painting can be traced back to him, revealing him and his illusion magic to the agents hunting him.

Despite finding each other unbearably rude, Ursa and Del agree to work together when they learn that the missing man and stolen art might be connected. As they get closer to each other and the truth, their inquiries become more dangerous. If they don’t find answers soon, Ursa won’t just have lost her magic for good, but her father too. And Del will face exile – or worse.

In a world where humans live hundreds of years and can perceive an untruth as easily as breathing, it takes a rare magic to tell a lie. Enter the deceptive world of the Whisperers at your own risk…
