Silvercloak

The addictive Sunday Times bestselling epic fantasy romance series from the author of Our Infinite Fates

De: L. K. Steven

Narrado por: Saffron Coomber

In this gripping fantasy series set in a world where magic is fuelled by pleasure and pain, an obsessive detective infiltrates a brutal gang of dark mages – knowing that one wrong move will get her killed...

Two decades ago, the Bloodmoons ruthlessly murdered Saffron's parents. Hellbent on revenge, she lied her way into the elite Silvercloak Academy of detectives with a single goal: find a way to bring the Bloodmoons to justice.

But on the eve of her graduation, her deception is exposed, and she's given only one option: go undercover and tear the Bloodmoons down from the inside.

Descending into a world where pleasure and pain are the most powerful currencies, Saff must commit some truly heinous deeds to keep her cover - and her life. Not only are there rival gangs and sinister smuggling rings to contend with, there's also her growing feelings for the kingpin's tortured son, and curious prophecy foretelling his death at Saff's hand.

With each day testing her loyalties further, Saff's web of lies becomes harder to spin.

And when one false step could destroy everything and everyone she's ever loved...the mage who dedicated her life to vengeance might just have to die for it.

Reseñas de la Crítica

An absolute masterpiece – I’ve never read a fantasy like it

Lovely, lush, intricate and thoughtful. Reminds me of a favourite writer from childhood, and I do not make Diana Wynne Jones comparisons lightly!

With an immersive world, compellingly flawed characters, and a taut exploration of what it means to be moral in an uncaring world, L.K. Steven gives us a dazzling (and frequently sizzling) new fantasy in SILVERCLOAK. Read it and join me in asking . . . how long until book two?

This will be your next fantasy obsession. Intricate world building, expertly woven with a thoroughly unique magic system, Silvercloak propels you through twists and turns with an ending you will not see coming

One of the best fantasies I’ve ever read

In this sexy, beguiling, and wholly intoxicating novel, pleasure and pain commingle in a fantasy that crackles with vibrant and alluring energy. I slid into the world of Silvercloak with the ease of a breath, but leaving it is as impossible as removing one’s limb.

Lush, dangerous and utterly addictive

A cut-throat tale, with searing enemies-to-lovers and magical espionage, set in an exquisitely detailed world

My newest obsession

ੈ✩‧₊˚ my thoughts

Silvercloak was everything. This is the best book I’ve read in a really long time. It was amazing! ❤️

Saffron - a detective obsessed with bringing justice to her parents’ killers - infiltrates a criminal organisation of dark mages. In a world where magic is fueled by pleasure and pain, Saff learns about a prophecy that involves her and a fellow dark mage, and she struggles to find the path through her future.

This book was so unique! Not only did it have a unique magic system, but the politics were unique, the society was unique, and the story was unique, with unique politics and gang complexities. For a romantasy new release, it seems hard to have so many unique elements in a story, but Steven pulled it off here.

The story was deliciously complex, and even when knowing the outcome - i.e. the prophecy - the reader is still wondering how the characters will get to that point and what happens to get them there. It is such a wonderful reading experience.

Also, that ending was amazing! It wrapped up many of the lingering issues from this first book while leaving so much open for the rest of the series to work with. I can’t wait to keep reading once they come out!

I need book 2 - like yesterday.
