He is a dvargh who can sense lies. I am a woman for whom lying is a way to survive. Inspector Monfléor burst into my life to dig up dirt. But he doesn’t know the main thing: it isn’t my underground business that’s under threat—it’s the most valuable thing I have. My daughter is a half-blood dvargh, and if they find out about her, they’ll take her from me.
He’s too close. He’s too dangerous. He’s looking for the truth.
I will do everything so that she stays in the shadows.
