A Taste of Gold and Iron

Kadou, the shy prince of Arasht, can taste the purity of gold and silver with his fingertips, and after a public humiliation at court he takes charge of investigating a break-in at one of the city's guilds to prove his loyalty to his sister, the queen. His new bodyguard, Evemer, plainly thinks very little of him. Court intrigue, a counterfeiting plot and a long, careful slow burn between a prince and his guard, mild spice, happy for now.
