Publisher Description
Bitter. Broken. Brutal.
Molded since childhood to be the perfect weapon, Gavriel d'Alana (also known as Death's Shadow) has devoted himself to serving Thalia Talfayen. The life of a Noxblade is lethal and lonely, and since the princess has no need of him, he secretly believes there's no reason for him to live—and he should seek a glorious death—but that's before he tangles with a tiger woman who unleashes his darkest desires.
Tough. Tenacious. Trustworthy.
Magda Versai has a reputation for being unattainable—no deep attachments, only discreet amusements. If she has her way, the pride will never learn of her private heartbreak, as she accepted her curse years ago. Now, she focuses on work, which is why she's acting as Raff's bodyguard while secretly hunting for Slay. The search leads Mags to team up with a Noxblade so belligerent that she can't resisting baiting him.
She's the steel, he's the flint, and the sparks they strike together might kindle a fire that could warm them for a lifetime, if they don't kill each other first…
Customer Reviews
Masterful and enjoyable to the very last page
I am calling it, Ann is a master at taking a grey character and unmasking all their white elements. Gavriel was quite a knob earlier in the series, with only some very (very) brief glimpses of something more. I was a bit skeptical of a book centered around him, but after some masterful crafting in The Wolf Lord, I was ready. It took less than 2 chapters for Ann to weave her magic, and after that I just couldn’t stop turning the pages. Gav and Mag’s story is wonderfully written, and the character growth is so very true to them. It is no surprise that I dived straight on into the next of this series, The War Priest.
