Closer to the Heart (The Herald Spy Trilogy Book 2)

Herald Mags, Valdemarâ€™s first official Herald Spy, is well on his way to establishing a coterie of young informants, not only on the streets of Haven, but in the kitchens and Great Halls of the highborn and wealthy as well.

The newly appointed Kingâ€™s Own Herald, Amily, although still unsure of her own capability in that office, is doing fine work to support the efforts of Mags, her betrothed. She has even found a way to build an army of informants herself, a group of highly trained but impoverished young noblewomen groomed to serve the highborn ladies who live at Court, to be called â€œThe Queensâ€™s Handmaidens.â€

And King Kyril has come up with the grand plan of turning Mags and Amilyâ€™s wedding into a low-key diplomatic event that will simultaneously entertain everyone on the Hill and allow him to negotiate behind the scenes with all the attending ambassadorsâ€•something which had not been possible at his son Prince Sedricâ€™s wedding.

What could possibly go wrong?

The answer, of course, is â€œeverything.â€

For all is not well in the neighboring Kingdom of Menmellith. The new king is a child, and a pretender to the throne has raised a rebel army. And this army isâ€•purportedlyâ€•being supplied with arms by Valdemar. The Menmellith Regency Council threatens war. With the help of a ragtag band of their unlikely associates, Mags and Amily will have to determine the real culprit, amass the evidence to convince the Council, and prevent a war nobody wantsâ€•

â€•and, somewhere along the way, get married.
