u/Min_Wage_Footman

Amelia Delarue is a sorceress in hiding, scraping together enough gold to flee the kingdom that wants her dead. She has a partner and a promise to keep, and no interest in complications. Then the resistance drops the most wanted child in Tourain in her lap. Getting him north is the price of leaving. That means dodging a vengeful Inquisition captain through enemy-held country, with her own magic tearing her apart from the inside. Amelia doesn't do heroics. But the boy won't stop talking, and won't stop trusting her. Walking away was supposed to be easy.
