I’m serializing Imperial Slave, Book 1 of The Waking World, on my Substack. Chapter 5 is out today. Tina trades her own clothes for a sailor’s and leads the captain’s party out at night to dig into the old cellars of the Jewel Palace. She knows the ground and he doesn’t, and for one night that makes her the most useful person in the party.
