For hundreds of years, the Blaukenev clan has wandered across Tilzam, from one end to the other and back. Each wagon carries history, love, laughter, pain, sorrow, and secrets. Their greatest secret of all may be Chavali, the clan Seer. Spirits claim/use/save/damn her. With her gift/curse, nothing surprises her anymore, no one keeps secrets from her. She, on the other hand, has more than enough secrets to keep. Secrets of her own, secrets of her clan, secrets of the world, secrets she even keeps from herself. There are always people who want secrets. Some will do anything to get what they want. The Fallen is the foundation of the story of The Greatest Sin, of a world adrift from its God that desperately wants Her back. Chavali's comfortable, predictable life will be ripped apart and burnt to ashes as she's forced into the middle of that struggle. Change, she hates it passionately. It hates her right back.

Adjusting to her new life as a soul-bound agent of the Fallen has Chavali pushing herself harder than ever before. Between learning to fight, dealing with idiots, and climbing stairs - lots of stairs - she has little time to waste on thoughts of the future. Or the past. When another agent fails to report in, Chavali is sent on the mission to discover her fate. Ready or not, she saddles up for a new adventure with new dangers. The search takes her to Ket, a coastal city slathered in mystery. There, she faces ghosts from her past and demons of her future as she seeks answers. All she seems to find are more questions. Plague, murder, lies, espionage...this city harbors much more than meets the eye, and maybe too much to handle.

An avalanche begins with a careless word. Chavali's notorious temper continues its downward spiral as the long winter keeps her trapped underground among the Fallen. One little rumor flung thoughtlessly in her face sets off a cascade of events that pulls her into a clash far bigger than the usual petty squabbles. Unexpected snarls in a tedious assignment turn the tiny village of Eagle Falls into a monstrous pain in the ass. A frozen body dangles from a tree. Restless spirits gnaw at Chavali's mind. As the lies pile up in drifts, she finds herself hunting for truth on behalf of allies she never asked for. The Seer takes care of her clan. These days, "clan" has an ever-expanding definition.

Spring brings warmth, sunshine...and unexpected tragedy, as Chavali loses a hard-won friend under suspicious circumstances.Just in time to help her ignore her pain, a new mission to find the agent's killer - and recover his precious cargo - sends her to Harbor City, the jewel of North Cascain. A place nearly as insular as Chavali herself.Illusions, betrayal, and murder sweep her away from her goal and into a sea of intrigue. Between a disturbing drug, a deadly gang, and mysterious abduction, Chavali finds her hands suddenly full with multiple connected crimes...not to mention the dangers posed by her own personal secrets, demons, and spirits.This time, even her sharp wit and clever lies might not be enough to save her...or anyone else in Harbor City.

Recognized at last for her obvious talents as an agent of the Fallen, Chavali now reaps the reward for her competence—Administrator Eldrack uses his new favorite tool for every mission he can. Even the truly pointless ones. But for Chavali, clan must come first. She chafes as Eldrack takes her away from the remnants of her people, over and over. Until the day he calls her in for a task worthy of her skills. A traitor walks among the Fallen. A traitor who seems to have done the impossible by existing at all. And worse yet, the one responsible for Harris’s death...and the turmoil Chavali faces now, inside and out. She already trusts no one. What she discovers may shatter so much more than mere trust. In this pivotal 5th installment of The Greatest Sin series, conflicts from multiple sides threaten the very soul of the Fallen. And nothing will remain the same.

When seer Chavali first joined the agents of the Fallen, she gained a life she never expected. But managing this much idiocy? Not in her original agreement. On top of trying to hide her fledgling relationship with Colby from every gossip in the Tower, Chavali clashes with the Administrator’s infuriating replacement at every turn. A mission should come as a relief. But when the new idiot-in-charge sends an ill-advised team on a vague mission with laughable guidance, Chavali’s usual bitter predictions find unexpectedly fertile ground. The oppressive heat and damp clinging to the lush flora of Palmia Basin prove only the first of many unforeseen problems. For underneath the flower-bedecked shops and colorful tiled streets of the river town, crime and corruption fester like a creeping mold, waiting to burst into violence. And to drag Chavali and Colby into a sucking morass that just might rip them apart forever.
