About this audiobook
Nebula Award–winning author Kelly Robson returns with a charming historical fantasy romp featuring a flirtatious scribe, some irritable fairies, and a precarious parliament.
Lana Baker is Aldgate's finest scribe, with a sharp pen and an even sharper wit.
Gregarious, charming, and ever so eager to please, she agrees to deliver a message for another lovely scribe in exchange for kisses, only to be shipped off to the Low Parliament by a temperamental fairy.
As Lana transcribes the endless circular arguments of Parliament, the debatesgrow tenser and more desperate. Due to long-standing tradition, a hungvote will cause Parliament to flood and a return to endless war. Lana must rely
on an unlikely pair of comrades—Bugbite, the curmudgeonly fairy taskmaster,and Eloquentia, the bewitching human deputy—if she’s to save humanity andlive to flirt another day, come hell or high water.
