High Times in the Low Parliament

Summary

Nebula Award–winning author Kelly Robson returns with a charming historical fantasy romp featuring a flirtatious scribe, some irritable fairies, and a precarious parliament.

Lana Baker is Aldgate’s finest scribe, with a sharp pen and an even sharper wit. Gregarious, charming, and ever so eager to please, she agrees to deliver a message for another lovely scribe in exchange for kisses, only to be shipped off to the Low Parliament by a temperamental fairy.

As Lana transcribes the endless circular arguments of Parliament, the debates grow tenser and more desperate. Due to long-standing tradition, a hung vote will cause Parliament to flood and a return to endless war. Lana must rely on an unlikely pair of comrades—Bugbite, the curmudgeonly fairy taskmaster, and Eloquentia, the bewitching human deputy—if she’s to save humanity and live to flirt another day, come hell or high water.
