Shadowclad

As magic dwindles and corruption runs New Kingdom, a rising Syndicate is making waves and inspiring people to question their allegiance to their tyrannical monarch.

Cera, their leader of assassins, is willing to take lives but not another Shadow. After losing her trusted partner on an assignment, she only wants to keep her remaining family safe, but her intentions are jeopardized when Zack—the dashing, new recruit with a hidden agenda—is thrust under her wing.

Amidst hidden identities, intricate political schemes and inevitable assassinations, can the pair see beyond their prejudices and unite to repel the demise of their realm that is coming sooner than they expect?

Perfect for fans of the Dance of Thieves and An Ember in the Ashes series looking for their next fantasy with a romance subplot, this action-packed debut follows the entwined fates of the kingdom’s most wanted assassin and a secret soldier. Shadowclad is the first book in the Shadowclad series.
