"Gripping and fierce. This is much-needed fantasy with its fangs honed sharp by the power of resistance. Melissa Blair has built a tremendous world."--Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

My body is made of scars,
some were done to me,
but most I did to myself.

Keera is a killer. As the King's Blade, she is the most talented spy in the kingdom. And the king's favored assassin. When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems . . . and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns, and can't help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace?

As she searches for answers, Keera is haunted by a promise she made long ago, one that will test her in every way. To keep her word, Keera must not only save herself, but an entire kingdom.

Fans of fast-paced high fantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Inadequate Heir, and From Blood and Ash author Jennifer L. Armentrout, will enjoy the fierce female characters, sapphic representation, and fantasy romance of A Broken Blade.

Loved

Loved this book, went in blind. Pleasantly surprised.

Read this in one day!

This is a great book - it kept me hooked right from the start! I like the aspect of the character flaws. It's not terribly often I see substance issues written into fantasy books. Half-bloods and tyrannical rulers. A badass female assasin. It couldn't put it down when I started it and once I finished it, I immediately went to check online to order the second one. I'll have to be patient for the second instalment. Highly recommend!
