Description

Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power.

Then Ziva takes a job from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims' secrets. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord's intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees.

Joined by a distractingly handsome mercenary and a young scholar with knowledge of the world's known magics, Ziva and her sister set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find someone worthy of wielding it - or a way to destroy it entirely.

Reviews

'An addictive page-turner. Loaded with action, betrayal, slow-burn romance--honestly, that is the best first kiss scene ever--I couldn't put it down. I fell in love with Ziva, her sister, and their very "interesting" companions. Be prepared to laugh, cry, and gasp' - Mary E. Pearson, author of The Remnant Chronicles

'Exciting, romantic, and filled with magic, Blade of Secrets is a fast-paced journey through a fractured kingdom... This is a book you'll want to read right away--and then reach for that sequel' - Jodi Meadows, author of the Fallen Isles trilogy

'Grab this and devour it' - Booklist, starred review
