The Witch's Ring

Résumé du livre

Tremaine wants you to know this book has no magical creatures.I know what you're thinking. What kind of fantasy story doesn't have dragons, elves, or a single, grumpy dwarf?Mine.I lived on the streets and in a hellish orphanage until the High Priest trained me to fight his dirty wars, when I did unspeakable things that still haunt me. Then, I had a job solving bizarre, ugly crimes in the city Guards that I lost because I avenged a brutal murder. I settled into a new career that was equal parts drinking and investigating betrayal, adultery, and theft cases for wealthy clients, when the High Priest returned to my life and ordered me to retrieve a mysterious woman from a remote monastery.I've spent my life caught between giving into the pain and rage inside me and wanting to be better, between accepting that I'm just a killer and seeking salvation. I have the feeling that the job to find the woman will nudge me one way or the other, once and for all.What terrifies me is I can't tell which way I'll fall.Coming in fall 2020:Blood and Moonlight (Tremaine, Book 2).
