{"title":"Imogen Vane","description":"Imogen Vane is the debut author of The Department of Dark Errands, a midlife romantasy trilogy set in a world where espionage runs on forbidden magic and memory extraction is just another intelligence tool. Born and raised in the American Southwest, Vane draws from deep African American roots--generations of storytellers, healers, and seekers who understood that survival is its own form of alchemy.","products":[{"product_id":"the-department-of-dark-errands-book-one-shadowmarked-paperback","title":"The Department of Dark Errands: Book One: Shadowmarked - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA new series for fans of Rebecca Yarros, Sarah J.
