The Black-Market Scribe & Old Friend

“The truth is worth something, but knowing who to sell it to? That’s everything.”

Alis Tarren is a survivor first, historian second. She walks the line between truth and profit, knowing that information is the most valuable currency in a world where history can be rewritten. She’s Nera’s oldest friend, but they don’t always see eye to eye—truth, to Alis, is just another tool.
