A detective and spy fights with wits and magic to find missing children, keep the dark corners of her city safe, and escape the noose that has followed her from her shadowy past.

Kay has found her calling as a fetch, a finder of lost children, but she’s in over her head when a child goes missing among the refugees beyond the walls. Before she is found, Kay must face her past as an exile, the loyalties which divide her heart, and an enemy who would have his spy back on her leash or watch her hang.

The first of an epic fantasy trilogy that’s been called action-packed, sharp, and exquisite.
