Death & Taxes: A Tale of The Lesser Evil (The Lesser Evil)

Description

Ever since the night her husband burnt alive, Merie has wanted to escape her job and leave the city of Fea Little, the largest still standing in the Interior, The Crossroads of the North and trade center of a vast area.

In charge of collecting taxes in The Petals district, for too many years Merie has been undermined by others. All trust has gone, leaving only steely determination and an overwhelming need to give her family a better life. She also knows she needs to watch her team carefully. Each is dangerous, with secrets of their own.

But Merie has a plan, one she has worked on for years and her last, best chance to escape. She knows it is not foolproof and she knows it could all still go wrong—especially when the night is full of those who want her murdered, and nothing and no one are what they seem.

Death and Taxes—the only certainties in life—examines the lengths one woman will go to in order to provide security for her family. Lengths which keep getting longer and longer. Get it right and Merie will be free. If not, there’ll be four more orphans on the streets.
