The Spear of Malice (Paperback)

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

As war gathers beyond its borders, the city state of Kantor survives on a fragile promise of neutrality. Inside its walls, that balance is already failing. Suraan rules as regent while her son Rahuul waits for a crown that may never reach him, and Adaali stands between him and the forces that would see him removed.

In The Spear of Malice, Adaali’s duty as sister and guardian hardens into something sharper as threats begin to surface from within the court itself. Loyalties shift quietly. Faith and politics tangle. The gods take an interest, and their attention is rarely merciful.

Pressed to the edge of what she understands, Adaali is forced to seek allies where she least expects them, risking everything she has sworn to protect. The novel unfolds in a world where divine conflict bleeds into human ambition, and where survival depends not only on strength, but on the choices made when belief and fear collide.
