Perfidious

A brilliant but morally tangled diplomat emerges from a vaulted career, navigating a web of loyalties, secrets, and sharpened betrayals. When a delicate peace summit hinges on a single, fragile trust, she must weigh duty against personal conviction as hidden agendas ripple through every conversation. As alliances tilt and stakeholders circle, a once-quiet personal loss resurfaces, threatening to derail the fragile accord. With vigilance, she maneuvers through double meanings, coded messages, and shifting alliances, all while a quiet conscience probes the line between honesty and necessity. In a high-stakes landscape of power, perception becomes as dangerous as the truth.
