Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year…
Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind…
Everyone loves a Paladin, right? Especially in this world, where they're god-touched and have amazing abilities?
Well, what happens when their god dies? What does that do to all of their relationships?
Continuing on in the world of Clocktaur War and Swordheart, we have some more (formulaic, yes) romance, between a Paladin without a god and a perfume-maker who got pulled into a plot.
The romance to adventure ratio is somewhat higher than I prefer, but the writing sparkles and the intrigue intrigues
