Downloading Swansong (The Magpie 2)
Everyone has a secret to keep.
Alone, disgraced, his unsavoury past on the brink of exposure, Savonn Silvertongue returns to Cassarah to face his nemesis on the eve of open war. Dervain Teraille—once his lover and confidant—is in the hands of the Council, and will not scruple to reveal all he knows. If Savonn does not defeat him, he faces his own utter destruction.
Meanwhile, Hiraen and Iyone Safin struggle to defend their city from Queen Marguerit of Sarei. But they, too, are caught up in Savonn's spiderweb of intrigue, and it is only a matter of time before their own secrets are dragged into the light.
