About
The Cruel Tide Queen Muireann The Long Game Cold as deep water. Just as easy to drown in. You have met her before. At the Samhain bonfire she was a stranger with sea-pale hair and a voice like the tide coming in, and she asked you to walk her home. You said yes. Everyone does. It is the oldest trick her kind has. In her own hall she is Queen of Tidehollow, crowned young into a war she did not start and the one who finally ended it. She reads a contract better than anyone at either court, and she has never told an untruth. She has never needed to. A selkie’s charm is not a lie. It is a current, and by the time you feel it, the shore is already gone. She did not choose you. A treaty did, and she was cheated in the wording by a woman she never saw coming. Every noble in Tidehollow is watching to see what she does with the proof of it. So are you. You should be more careful where you look. Win her trust, and you may gain the most powerful ally in Tidehollow.Lose it, and you become the mistake everyone already believes you are.Mistake her smile for warmth, and you will not get the chance to do either. “I have never told you an untruth. I would like you to notice how much work that sentence is doing.”
