PEOPLE WILL BELIEVE WHAT YOU TELL THEM
To have her magic unlocked, Ness Riseworth exchanged ten years of her life in service to the Imperial Protectorate.
Her assignment for the last decade has been training new magic wielders. But when a woman with a striking resemblance to Ness dies on her way to a rebel gathering, the Protectorate doesn't care that Ness has no experience with spying, only that she is their best hope to infiltrate this group plotting against the Empire.
When she struggles to maintain her cover as a rebel leader, her attractive commander reminds her that people will believe what she tells them. He may be off-limits, but he is becoming increasingly jealous of the smoldering moments Ness shares with a handsome rebel leader to gain information.
Time is running out for Ness to uncover all she needs to know to stop this rebellion before it becomes a war.
