Description



Book Synopsis



LIMITED FIRST PRINT RUN―featuring spray-painted edges with stenciled ivy, as well as gorgeously detailed map endpapers. This breathtaking first edition is only available for a limited time and while supplies last.

One hundred years. Tens of thousands of gladiators. And today, only one will rise...

Everything in the Kingdom of Arrow is a lie.

Leith of Grey thought coming to this new land and volunteering to fight in the gladiator arena--vicious, bloodthirsty tournaments where only the strongest survive--would earn him enough gold to save his dying sister. He thought there was nothing left to lose.

He was wrong--and they took everything. His hope. His freedom. His very humanity.

All Leith has left is his battle-scarred body, fueled by rage and hardened from years of fighting for the right to live another day.

Then Leith meets Maeve, an elven royal who is everything he despises. Everything he should hate. Until the alluring princess offers him the one thing he needs most: a chance to win the coveted title of Bloodguard--and his freedom.

But in a kingdom built on secrets and lies, hope doesn't come cheap.

Nor will his ultimate revenge...

From start to finish Bloodguard did not disappoint. I really love the world building and the characters the author created. It’s great to just lose yourself in a fantasy and forget about the current day for a while. The action in Bloodguard is unmatched. Cecy Robson writes the best and most vivid fight scenes I have ever read. There’s also some really creative twists and surprises that keep you turning page after page. I found myself thinking about this book and the world long after I finished reading it. I heard that there are three books planned for the series and that while each book is written in the world all are stand alone reads.I can’t wait to see what Robson has created for the next installment!

I really enjoyed about 1/2 of this book. The ending felt rushed and very confusing. I'm glad I finished the whole thing but I wish it was better put together in it's time line.

I was not expecting the rush of emotions and the roller coaster this book took me on. I'll admit I was expecting a lot of fighting to the death and crazy trials due to the gladiator references, but what I wasn't expecting was the amount of emotional depth, character development, world building, found family, and utter villainy that Bloodguard brought. Leith is a gladiator by choice trying to earn a better life for his family by completing enough trials to become a Bloodguard (the top tier of gladiators who are given noble titles and riches). He has a moral compass even though he knows he must do what he needs to survive and support his family. Maeve is a princess trying to find the right person to marry in order to gain her crown and become the queen that her people desperately need after the death of her grandmother years ago. She sees something in Leith and chooses to sponsor him. The story moved from there with so many twists and turns it was difficult to put down because I needed to know what would happen next. I loved that Leith found a home with Maeve and her extended family even though he wasn't finished and was still fighting to become a Bloodguard. Giselle is one of my favorite characters and I would love to know more about her and her story (hopefully in one of the next books from this series). I won't get into all of the twists and turns, but will say that the villain in this book is one of the most awful I have read in a long time. Truly unredeemable in my eyes. By the time Bloodguard came to a close, I had laughed, cried, held my breath, basically experienced all the emotions. The ending was absolutely brilliant and one of the best last sentences I have read in a book! Can't wait to read more from this world.
