What to expect
In this gripping fantasy series set in a world where magic is fuelled by pleasure and pain, an obsessive detective infiltrates a brutal gang of dark mages – knowing that one wrong move will get her killed...
Two decades ago, the Bloodmoons ruthlessly murdered Saffron's parents. Hellbent on revenge, she lied her way into the elite Silvercloak Academy of detectives with a single goal: find a way to bring the Bloodmoons to justice.
But on the eve of her graduation, her deception is exposed, and she's given only one option: go undercover and tear the Bloodmoons down from the inside.
Descending into a world where pleasure and pain are the most powerful currencies, Saff must commit some truly heinous deeds to keep her cover - and her life. Not only are there rival gangs and sinister smuggling rings to contend with, there's also her growing feelings for the kingpin's tortured son, and curious prophecy foretelling his death at Saff's hand.
With each day testing her loyalties further, Saff's web of lies becomes harder to spin.
And when one false step could destroy everything and everyone she's ever loved...the mage who dedicated her life to vengeance might just have to die for it.
'Lush, dangerous, and utterly addictive' Lauryn Hamilton Murray, author of Heir of Storms
'An immersive, spellbinding story that had me feverishly turning pages late into the night.' Hannah Whitten, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Foxglove King

Lovely, lush, intricate and thoughtful. Reminds me of a favourite writer from childhood, and I do not make Diana Wynne Jones comparisons lightly!

With an immersive world, compellingly flawed characters, and a taut exploration of what it means to be moral in an uncaring world, L.K. Steven gives us a dazzling (and frequently sizzling) new fantasy in SILVERCLOAK. Read it and join me in asking . . . how long until book two?

In this sexy, beguiling, and wholly intoxicating novel, pleasure and pain commingle in a fantasy that crackles with vibrant and alluring energy. I slid into the world of Silvercloak with the ease of a breath, but leaving it is as impossible as removing one’s limb.
