About this ebook

Of all those in the King of Alden’s retinue, the bloodbinders are the most prized. The magic they wield can forge invaluable weapons, ones that make soldiers like Lady Alix Black unerringly lethal. However, the bloodbinders’ powers can do so much more—and so much worse…

A cunning and impetuous scout, Alix only wishes to serve quietly on the edges of the action. But when the king is betrayed by his own brother and left to die at the hands of attacking Oridian forces, she winds up single-handedly saving her sovereign.

Suddenly, she is head of the king’s personal guard, an honor made all the more dubious by the king’s exile from his own court. Surrounded by enemies, Alix must help him reclaim his crown, all the while attempting to repel the relentless tide of invaders led by the Priest, most feared of Oridia’s lords.

But while Alix’s king commands her duty, both he and a fellow scout lay claim to her heart. And when the time comes, she may need to choose between the two men who need her most…

it's really nice to see a novel in speculative fiction in which a woman can be strong and feminine without it feeling like she ever has to compromise one for the other. I look forward to learning more about this universe and seeing where it's characters go. the only advise I'd offer as a writer is to perhaps expand how many characters the story is told from, the narrative would feel a lot more immersive and open if it wasn't stuck to two characters who are around one another all the time. Recommended read!
