Trained as a spy since childhood, Issanka uses her powers over light and sound in service of the higher castes. A caste-less urchin herself, Issanka knows she must be careful never to get too involved in citizen business. But when the newly crowned King sends an army to tour the country, Issanka no longer has a choice. The journey will take her to a city of wealth and mystery, where the line between castes is no longer clear, and where Issanka must step out of the shadows if she is to survive.
Gabrielle Davis is a fantasy author and sometimes-lawyer who lives in Brisbane (Meanjin) with her partner and someday-dog. A passionate linguist, Gabrielle's pursuit of Spanish, French, and Japanese led her to a number of long-term exchanges and international travel. Until a trip to Marseille in France unlocked her fantasy world, Gabrielle's only publications were the academic kind. The manuscript for her first novel, Road to Freedom, placed fourth in the Hawkeye Publishing Manuscript Development Prize 2021 and third in the same competition the following year.
