The Book Burner's Fall (eBook)

The Unified Realm in the reign of King Lakril, known to history as the book burner - an impoverished realm brought to the brink of destruction by Lakril's paranoid tyranny.

Kestra Saero, once the most deadly assassin to serve the Seventh Order of the Faith, is tempted back to the fold by an irresistible mission: kill the book burner. Driven by a deep desire for retribution but distrustful of her new comrades, Kestra must infiltrate a royal palace transformed into a carnival of horrors and slay the monster that lurks at its heart. But killing a king could never be an easy matter...

Set a century before the events in the Raven's Shadow trilogy, The Book Burner's Fall is a thrilling tale of dark magic and bloody vengeance.
