Raven's Flight
Marie Robinson - 2020
When a queen’s hope rests on the edge of a blade, can a woman with deadly aim and a man with devastating magic unite a kingdom on the brink of civil war?
Conscripted from prison into the Crows, Asgarath’s most elite assassins, Kiera Pendry lives in the shadow of the palace. She’s as much a weapon as the wicked blades she carries, but feels the heavy weight of every life she takes. Trusting the wrong person had turned her into a killer—and she would never make that mistake again. Now the man who abandoned her is back with a job that could buy her freedom at last. Dorian is a Seider, someone who commands magic, and his service is sworn to Queen Margaret. Dorian needs Kiera’s skills to keep him alive while he retrieves the legendary obsidian blade. To succeed, they must trust each other. And, when long buried feelings return, the cost of Kiera’s freedom may prove higher than she could ever imagine. Kiera must reconcile with her enemy if they want to find the ancient blade to unite the kingdom. But as powerful forces close in and dangerous alliances are made, the two discover why some secrets should stay in the past. Raven's Flight introduces a new fantasy world perfect for those who enjoy intrigue, dangerous relic quests, enemies to lovers, and magic. Readers who enjoy the Grishaverse series by Leigh Bardugo, Provost's Dog series by Tamora Pierce, and the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J Maas will want to dive into this new world filled with fantasy, adventure, and romance. Raven's Flight is a new adult fantasy.
