A Stellar Spy - by Maya Darjani

Book Synopsis

A futuristic, magic-fueled homage to the great classics of the spy genre: the cerebral musings of John le Carre with the excitement of The Americans.

Devoted mother and career woman.

A sleeper agent, poised to act.

Tessa lives a double life. She's the security counselor to Finn, the leader of the planet.

He's her ex-husband and father of her children.

She's still in love with him.

But she has a far worse problem. Tessa is also a deep cover operative for an enemy planet, and turns out, her next mission is to betray him.

After overpowered mages target and attack the seat of government, Finn wants to remove their magic completely-a brutal action Tessa can't support. So she does the only thing she can do: she contacts her handler.

But every action she takes increases the chance of discovery. If caught, she can't protect the mages from retaliation or prevent future attacks against Finn and the children. And when her two roles collide, she must choose: fail her family, or forsake her ideals.
