The Trickster Duology

1 - Trickster's Choice

When Aly comes home to Pirate's Swoop to visit her father, she finds that her mother, the Lioness, is on her way home, too. Frustrated by both parents, Aly makes an escape.

But things go horribly wrong. Instead of enjoying a few days at sea in her boat, Aly is captured by pirates and sold as a slave to the noble Balitang family of the Copper Isles, where she is immediately enmeshed in royal family intrigues.

When the Balitangs are sent into exile, Aly goes with them. But not before entering into a life-and-death wager with the Trickster god, Kyprioth: keep the Balitang children alive until the end of summer, and she will be returned home safe and sound.

Can Aly do it?

2 - Trickster's Queen

When the Balitang family returns from exile in the highlands, Aly once more accompanies them - this time travelling as one of their maids. Chaos and intrigue await the household in the steamy, exotic city of Rajmuat, where Aly must constantly prove to friends, foes and family that she both is, and is not, who she says she is.

Such is the life of a spymaster, and a master spy is what Aly was raised to be.

In Trickster's Queen the intrepid Aly continues her quest to win a wager with the Trickster god and put a rebel queen on the throne of the Copper Isles.
