Keera is a killer. As the King's Blade, she is the most talented spy in the kingdom. And the king’s favored assassin. When a mysterious figure moves against the Crown, Keera is called upon to hunt down the so-called Shadow. She tracks her target into the magical lands of the Fae, but Faeland is not what it seems . . . and neither is the Shadow. Keera is shocked by what she learns, and can't help but wonder who her enemy truly is: the King that destroyed her people or the Shadow that threatens the peace?

As she searches for answers, Keera is haunted by a promise she made long ago, one that will test her in every way. To keep her word, Keera must not only save herself, but an entire kingdom.

Mostly reasonable?

Hella trigger warnings, exposition could be spotty at times, and the author doesn’t seem to know whether the Shadow is a tactical genius or a bumbling noob, but I like the magic system and the attention to infrastructure and it’s nice to follow the characters’ developing relationships. A decent choice if you’re relatively unburdened. If you have serious addiction gremlins though, I’m not sure it’s worth the trouble, at least not this early in the series. It’s entirely probably the author improves further in.
