Fie remembered the first time she’d held Phoenix fire. She hadn’t wanted to burn the world down; she’d wanted the world to know she could.
The Merciful Crow (The Merciful Crow # 1)
Margaret Owen
Summary: A future chieftain.
Fie abides by one rule: look after your own. Her Crow caste of undertakers and mercy-killers takes more abuse than coin, but when they’re called to collect royal dead, she’s hoping they’ll find the payout of a lifetime.
A fugitive prince.
When Crown Prince Jasimir turns out to have faked his death, Fie’s ready to cut her losses—and perhaps his throat. But he offers a wager that she can’t refuse: protect him from a ruthless queen, and he’ll protect the Crows when he reigns.
A too-cunning bodyguard.
Hawk warrior Tavin has always put Jas’s life before his, magically assuming the prince’s appearance and shadowing his every step. But what happens when Tavin begins to want something to call his own?
My Review: This is filled with plagues and teeth magic and subtle social commentary that I was obsessed with. The plot unfolds like a exceptional meal, building on itself in the most beautiful way until at the end you have the most incredible palate. I loved the found family in the band of Crows, and I loved the adventure. I loved the story, and the romance, I cannot wait to continue the series.
Recommended age: 14/15+ (thematic elements, violence, mild sexual situations)
