The Loyalty of Crows
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
A dark fantasy debut with a tough assassin FMC and a guard MMC with golden retriever energy hiding real danger. The witchcraft world-building is subtle and intriguing, the banter crackles, and every twist lands. Book 2 cannot come fast enough.
Synopsis
Mara is mostly content with her work as the government’s silent assassin. Content, mostly because she is quietly avenging her past on the side. Her arrest launches her onto a path that changes everything. When she is forced to work with a member of the guard to investigate rumors of a dangerous cult in the forest, everything changes. She finds out just how deep the lies and omissions truly run. What begins as a reluctant alliance quickly spirals into something more dangerous. Mara is left to question everything she knows about her parents, their murder, and the power within herself.
