La Asesina del Rey / A Broken Blade - Paperback

by Melissa Blair (Author)

La primera parte de la Saga Sangre Mestiza, que sacudi? Booktok antes de su lanzamiento.

Mi cuerpo est? hecho de cicatrices; algunas me las hicieron otros, pero la mayor?a me las hice yo misma.

Keera es una asesina. Como Espada del rey es la esp?a m?s despiadada de todo el reino, y la preferida del monarca. Durante a?os ha cumplido rigurosamente la misi?n de acabar con quien ponga en peligro la paz del reino de Elverath, y nadie ha podido escapar de ella. Hasta ahora.

Cuando surgen rumores sobre un rebelde que se hace llamar la Sombra y que busca romper con el d?bil equilibrio de Elverath, Keera empieza una cacer?a que la llevar? a deshacerse de sus vicios y a recobrar la fuerza que cre?a perdida. En su b?squeda, cruzar? las tierras m?gicas de los fae, tratando de discernir si su enemigo es mortal, elfo o mestizo, como ella. Con cada paso se cuestionar? qui?n es el verdadero enemigo: la Sombra que amenaza la paz?, o el rey que destruy? a su pueblo y la convirti? en una asesina a sangre fr?a?
Mientras busca respuestas, Keera se ver? atormentada por una promesa que hizo hace mucho tiempo. Para mantener su palabra, no solo deber? salvarse a s? misma, sino al reino entero.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The BookTok sensation from debut author Melissa Blair&mdash

"Gripping and fierce. This is much-needed fantasy with its fangs honed sharp by the power of resistance. Melissa Blair has built a tremendous world."--Chloe Gong, #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights

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.

Fans of fast-paced high fantasy such as A Court of Thorns and Roses series, The Inadequate Heir, and From Blood and Ash author Jennifer L. Armentrout, will enjoy the fierce female characters, sapphic representation, and fantasy romance of A Broken Blade.
