La Asesina del Rey / A Broken Blade - (Sangre Mestiza / The Halfling Saga) by Melissa Blair (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

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

Mi cuerpo está hecho de cicatrices; algunas me las hicieron otros, pero la mayoría me las hice yo misma.

Keera es una asesina. Como Espada del rey es la espía más despiadada de todo el reino, y la preferida del monarca. Durante años ha cumplido rigurosamente la misión 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 débil equilibrio de Elverath, Keera empieza una cacería que la llevará a deshacerse de sus vicios y a recobrar la fuerza que creía perdida. En su búsqueda, cruzará las tierras mágicas de los fae, tratando de discernir si su enemigo es mortal, elfo o mestizo, como ella. Con cada paso se cuestionará quién es el verdadero enemigo: ¿la Sombra que amenaza la paz?, ¿o el rey que destruyó a su pueblo y la convirtió en una asesina a sangre fría?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

The BookTok sensation from debut author Melissa Blair.

"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.
