The Price of Fear by Miles Lyon
PRE-ORDER THE EXPLOSIVE START TO AN ADDICTIVE NEW GRIMDARK FANTASY TRILOGY – PERFECT FOR FANS OF JOE ABERCROMBIE AND JAY KRISTOFF . . .
---
For a Godless like Azreal the Wretched, keeping the peace is as profitable as it is bloody.
A decade into a fragile armistice with Inath, the North has turned on itself. Once united against invasion, the kingdom now teeters on the brink of civil war.
The North's most infamous battle mage, Azreal now works as a contract killer for a king clinging to his throne, hunting traitors with magic blades that feast on his emotions.
But when his latest assignment uncovers a foreign conspiracy to bring the kingdom to its knees, Azreal is the only person ruthless enough to stop it.
Or he would have been, had he not failed.
Instead, he is captured after murdering the wrong man: an Inathian crown prince.
Now, imprisoned across the border and awaiting execution, Azreal finds himself at the mercy of criminal investigator Anamira Lestrade.
Her orders are simple: uncover the truth behind the assassination, or pay for her failure with her life.
So Azreal makes her an offer . . . all of his story and the truth, or none of it.
