Marguerite Florian has spent her life acquiring and selling information, using whatever means necessary. When she falls afoul of a powerful former employer, her usual methods of self-preservation no longer work. Fortunately, she has collected enough favors to attempt an audacious scheme to undermine her enemies.
With the service of Shane, a paladin of a dead god and much too handsome for his own good, Marguerite will be forced to navigate a glittering and dangerous court, northern wilds, and the cult of a demon in a brazen attempt to destabilize an entire economy.
Intrigue and violence were to be expected, but is Marguerite prepared for the battle for her soul—and her heart?
Another series I've had to resist reading one after the other. This might be my favorite. I love the characters and the story. So well done. Didn't want it to end.
Sarcastic characters in a straight fantasy, another couple who are obviously going to fall in love. It's nice to see characters come around from previous books with different levels of engagement.
This one did feel like there were more moments of "the heroes felt they were going to die and said goodbye to each other" without actually feeling darker. I haven't worked out if that is on purpose or not. Second one is probably still my favourite.
Nothing happens in this without foreshadowing or a trope, so if that irritates you, well, you probably didn't finish the others.
