Overview

Untold magic and wealth is theirs for the taking . . . if they can survive each other.

Vespera Crimsonblade relishes her fearsome reputation. After fleeing her stifling noble life, she’s remade herself as the ruthless leader of the Crimson Ledger, a cutthroat merchant’s guild that can change the tides of commerce. But she’s thrown back into the world she abandoned when she tries to lay claim to a powerful new substance, aetherite, discovered in her family’s lands.

Lyna Shaddah craves mastery of the shadows. They joined the Crimson Ledger to gain access to dangerous artifacts that would allow Lyna to commune with an ancient power lurking beneath the city and transcend her mortal trappings. But she’ll need access to aetherite to fuel the dark ritual–which means dealing with their quarrelsome boss, Vespera.

Vespera proposes a plan to swindle the aetherite from her family to secure the Crimson Ledger’s standing and gain the aetherite Lyna needs. All they have to do is fake their engagement. But for the two hot-headed schemers, pretending to like each other will be far easier said than done.

Ledgers and Leylines is the bewitching fourth standalone book in the Starlight Sanctum cozy fantasy LGBTQ romance series. If you like fake engagements, strong-willed villainesses, and a seductive sapphic romance with a generous helping of heat, then you’ll love Vera Winters’s spellbinding adventure.
