Between Ink and Shadows – Melissa Wright

Nim was sold long ago to pay her father’s debts. She now works for the Trust, who control magic in Inara. She must pay a monthly tithe to them, and if she fails, her freedom is forfeit. Her newest task is to steal from the man who is second only to the king in power in Inara, and Nim is sure she’ll fail.

I found this book for free, and was pleasantly surprised. It’s not perfect (I feel like the story was stretched out a bit), but I really enjoyed Nim and Warrick’s interactions, and the hows and whys of the power in this kingdom have really interesting potential. This is the kind of book that keeps me reading the freebies.
