The Hideous Garden

On the brink of war . . ..

When assassins strike, spymaster Mara suspects the hostile nation of Waan is behind the plot. To investigate, she secretly meets a friend who married into Waan’s royal family. Both suspect they’re being watched, but Mara knows it’s worth the risk, even if they’re walking into a trap.

What Mara learns convinces her Waan is planning an invasion. She determines her people must defend themselves, even at the risk of starting a war which could trigger a civilization-ending famine. Can she warn her leaders in time? Will they agree to her dangerous scheme?

This is Book Three of the political fantasy series Mara of the League.
