It's been three years since I escaped the witches. I'd finally started to think I was free, that my work helping others escape would make up for the things they made me do. That I could start a new life, despite the past that haunts me. Then they called my blood again. Now all I can think about is finding out who did it—and why—before those old ghosts raise their heads. And if facing the witch that did it kills me? Better that than live in fear. Thief of Smoke and Sorrow is a standalone prequel set in the Tidecaller world, featuring main characters without spoiling anything in the main series. If you like broken-yet-snarky female leads, fast-paced mysteries, and estranged lovers, it's a great place to start the Tidecaller story. Available free, exclusively to my newsletter subscribers, in e-book and audio.
