Silver in the Mist

Eight years ago, everything changed for Devlin: Her country was attacked. Her father was killed. And her mother donned the mask of the Royal Spymistress, not to show her face again...even to her daughter. Joining the spy ranks herself, Dev sees her mother only when receiving assignments. She wants more, but she understands the peril their country, Aris, is in. Their wealthier neighbor sends magical casters and soldiers to attack them. The Mists, a malevolent force crawling with monsters of silvered lightning, is swallowing Aris's edges. Their casters are burning out, and without magic to protect Aris's borders, the Mists will soon surge over them like a wave. Dev has known strength and survival her whole life. But with the dangerous new assignment of infiltrating the royal court of their neighbor country Cerena to steal the magic they need, she learns that not all that glitters is weak. And not all stories are true.
