Critics Review
“Provocative and decadent, crude and funny, and an altogether entertaining fantasy adventure.” - Edward Cox, author of The Relic Guild series”Pennyblade doesn’t so much reinvent well-worn fantasy tropes as stab them to death in a dark alley. Kyra Cal’Adra is a lethally alluring protagonist weaving an intricate tale rich in ferocious action and multifaceted intrigue, all topped off by a deliciously vicious twist.” - Anthony Ryan, author of Blood Song, The Wolf’s Call and more”A violent, and wildly imaginative, riot of a book.” - R. J. Barker, author of Age of Assassins and The Bone Ships”The changeling offspring of Jorg Ancrath and Phedre no Delaunay. Filthy, furious, wonderful.” - Anna Smith-Spark, author of The Court of Broken Knives”The most fresh and original take on a classic fantasy species I’ve read since The Grey Bastards. A fun, blood and sex-fueled adventure with a knockout cast of characters, and a surprisingly bitter-sweet love story at its core. I enjoyed the hell out of it!” - Rob Hayes, author of The Mortal Techniques and The War Eternal series”A fantasy adventure full of violence, passion, chaos and betrayal.” - Emerald Archer
