A Broken Blade

The Halfling Saga

My body is made of scars,

some were done to me,

but most I did to myself.

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.

SO GOOD

Went in blind (as I always do) because someone said if I liked The Assassin’s Blade, I will like this book. And let me tell youuuu how much it did NOT disappoint. Definitely a little more predictable than SJM, but I still thoroughly enjoyed the plot, character development, and little twists. Immediately starting the next book bye!

Oh What Intrigue

This is my first Melissa Blair book. It was not disappointing. It’s filled with twists and intrigue all nestled alongside political turmoil.

The narrators did a wonderful job creating the separate characters.

Good story

This is a good story. I felt like it moved a little slow. But first books in a series are usually about the set up. And the narrator was a little too monotone. But the story is good and it’s well written.

Outstanding

I love that we traveled through the majority of the map in the first book. The writing is absolutely beautiful and I dove head first into this world. Keera may be one of my favorite FMC’s & I can’t wait to see what comes of her story!! Her character development is heartwarming. This book is a MASTERPIECE!!!

Needs to be made into a movie asap!!!!

This needs to be made into a movie immediately I love the stories. I love the characters. I love the world that was built. I typically don’t preferred books with so much romance, but the story was so engaging it was worth it. I think that the voice actor reading the story was B+. I don’t think she had much brains when it came to the male voices. Overall a great listen!
