Publisher Description
From Hugo Award winning author T. Kingfisher:
Marguerite Florian is a spy with two problems. A former employer wants her dead, and one of her new bodyguards is a far too good-looking paladin with a martyr complex.
Shane is a paladin with three problems. His god is dead, his client is much too attractive for his peace of mind, and a powerful organization is trying to have them both killed.
Add in a brilliant artificer with a device that may change the world, a glittering and dangerous court, and a demon-led cult, and Shane and Marguerite will be lucky to escape with their souls intact, never mind their hearts…
Customer Reviews
Great series
I was so glad to see another in this series. They’re charming !
Fantasy Romance With Real People
I love Kingfisher’s characters. It’s fun to see them muddle and second-guess their way through a romance novel. This was a lovely little read to tide me over to her next bit of folklore or fairytale revision.
Disturbing lack of gnoles
Excellent continuation of the Paladin series. It returns much more to the themes of the Clocktaur duology than any of the previous Paladin books—bringing back one minor character and discussing or referring to others; the Dreaming God and his paladins play a much larger role than in any of the previous Paladin’s. It’s very much on a par with the others in terms of humor, romance, and plotting, so if you like the series and the world they’re set in, then you’ll probably like this one as well. The mystery of the Saint of Steel is not resolved, giving promise of future installments.
Weirdly, there’s a complete lack of gnoles in this book—not even discussions or casual mentions. They formed such an integral part of the story in the two Clocktaur books, in Swordheart, and in the 2nd and 3rd Paladin books, that their absence is surprising, especially after the most recent book, and especially that pretty much the entire cast is of already-established characters. Ms. Kingfisher, where did they go?
