Leaves of Gold and Silver
(2026)(The first book in the Everkeep Chronicles series)
A novel by Madisyn Carlin
A thief-turned-spy who should be dead. A noblewoman with a secret. A second chance at love.
Mae Zavien lost her betrothed six months ago to the war that almost destroyed her land. Determined to avenge his death and ensure no one else suffers such a loss, she works under the cover of night to gather secrets, spy on the enemies trying to infiltrate her home, and foil their schemes. What she doesn't anticipate is how those enemies always seem one step ahead.
Bren Tallich should be dead in the dungeon of an enemy stronghold. Unfortunately, being alive doesn't grant him the chance to tell the love of his life that he survived. The fighting may have ended, but the war still rages, and the thief-turned-reformed spy is needed to uncover secrets and discover who is behind the attempt to take over all six lands. If Mae learns he survived, her life could be in even greater danger.
The shadows around Zavien Estate don't just hide secrets--they hide enemies who seek to destroy everyone who opposes them, Mae and Bren included. Only a former thief, a quiet noblewoman, and a menagerie of chaotic siblings and pets stand between their land and those who wish to destroy it.
Leaves of Gold and Silver is a nonmagical Christian romantasy retelling The Twelve Dancing Princesses and includes the tropes second chance romance, found family, arranged marriage, protective hero, nobility x commoner, and concealed identity.
