Afraid to confront her doubts, she clings to her splintering trust and a dangerous new connection with Lord Masrekah.Yet as the Hulcondans bear down on the resistance and its allies, the truth becomes clear: there aren’t just two sides, the greatest enemies lurk inside the city, and even the most faithful supporter has a breaking point.Quelling is a gritty, slow burn spy thriller set in a dystopian world on the brink of war.Perfect for fans of the characterization and political tension in Leigh Bardugo’s Six of Crows, Sabaa Tahir’s An Ember in the Ashes series, and Pierce Brown’s Red Rising saga.**This series is meant to be read in order.** less
