Nightingale's Song
|
In a land where halfbloods are considered demons and hunted without mercy, the Nightingale is a survivor. When her family is killed and her village destroyed by Lorcen Caspon, a man who seeks to overthrow the guilds of Caesia and install himself as the head of their power, her life is torn apart. But her captor deepens her agony by enslaving her with a secret, ancient magic that he uses to control her every move.
Forced into a life of assassination and pursued by the king's greatest Weapon, the Nightingale becomes the terror of the kingdom, though she fights against the magic's control. When another halfblood appears and challenges everything she's ever known, the Nightingale sees her chance to break her chains. She sets out to take down the man who razed her childhood—and to reclaim her freedom.
As the magic wanes, the Nightingale prepares to strike, and when its magic finally shatters, she will have her vengeance.
The Nightingale is a fierce and determined protagonist, a woman who refuses to be broken by the cruelty of the world around her. With thrilling action, vivid world-building, and complex characters, Nightingale is a story that will keep you on the edge of your seat until the last page.
FROM PUBLISHERS WEEKLY: "In a world where most humans have a superstitious fear of the elf-like, tree-dwelling anthelai, a half-anthela girl, a rarity considered a demon by the human population, survives the brutal destruction of her home only to be enslaved by the rapacious human Guildmaster Lorcen Caspon. As the mysterious assassin known as the Nightingale, she spreads death and terror until faced by a determined opponent of equal skill: Astin Talros, a general in service to the king. Her struggle to escape Caspon and avenge her family's death becomes a race against her relentless pursuit by Talros, who, unaware that she acts under compulsion, is sworn to destroy her. Effectively melding briskly-paced action with the internal struggles of both a traumatized young outcast forced into horrific deeds and the wily but honorable Talros. Debut author Mickelsen brings fresh twists and emotional depth to her tightly-written, compelling tale of mercantile politics, interracial conflict, and difficult choices."
For fans of Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, and Daughter of No Worlds by Carissa Broadbent.
