Publisher's summary

Wicked men stole the boy she loved. But when she found him again, he'd become more wicked than them all.

Malin Strom has been searching for Kase, her childhood sweetheart, since he was lost at the annual masquerade years ago.

With her gift for stealing memories, Malin crosses more than one dangerous line to take secrets from those who know what goes on behind the curtain of the wicked festival.

But when her brother is traded into the masquerade as punishment for using magic to hide Malin’s gift, her only chance to save him is to enlist the services of a brutal crook—the Nightrender—and he bears a striking resemblance to a face from the past.

No longer the boy she knew, her lost love, Kase, now rules as the amoral leader of brutal thieves. Pulled into his world of tricks and schemes, tantalizing attraction returns, but so do the secrets behind Kase’s disappearance, and the masquerade.

When their plan to save Malin’s brother takes them back to the dangers of the festival, painful betrayal forces Malin to face a cruel choice: save her brother’s life? Or give up the thief who has always held her heart.

Filled with luscious world building, spicy romance, and epic battles, Night of Masks and Knives is book four of The Broken Kingdoms series. It is the first book that takes place in the new Eastern Kingdom and can therefore be listened to as a standalone, though it's recommended to enjoy the series in order.

Best of the Series so Far

Read this series in order! Do not start here, regardless of what Booktok says. And don't go into it expecting it to be a retelling, idk why it was advertised that way. If you just take it for what it is up front, you'll have a better time.
Great narrator performances.

The story is great.

The growing story is amazing. The way the author continues this amazing story is fantastic.

Excellent narrative

I loved both narrators in this story!! Sooo very good and they bring the story to life

An adventurous ride

The scheming, plotting, suspense, romance and revenge in this story will keep you wanting more. This is a story of a sister trying to save her brother from a horrible fate, so she has no option but to make a deal with the Night Render and his band of comrades. By doing so, she will get more than she bargained for and have to deal with the consequences of her actions. The plot twist at the end left tears in my eyes and a broken heart. Now I must go to the next to find out what happens!

Great series!

I love the story line of this series. The supposed bad guy gets the girl. All the different characters and love in this book is great. I love Stina Nielsen.

Loving the story line.

I love how it gives a bit of a back story but also continues on with the story just from others point of views

Brilliant!

Loved it! Get it! U won't be disappointed! Captivating and stimulating until the very end!

All Around Amazing!!

The story is well written with good character and world building without being overdone. The narration was spot on and didn't make the characters seem whiny or nasal. There was tons of action and just the right level of spice to show relationship development without being crass.
I have enjoyed every book in the series so far, and I have already purchased the next one for this group of folk. I am excited to see where this all goes and how it ends!

Love this story!

i love the world of magic that has been created in this universe. Magic made new. Not the typical wizard magic. Magic that is connected through the mind, body and nature around us.

So Entertaining!

Loving this series still! On to the next book! I can’t wait to see what happens to these characters!
