The Faceless Mage

Legends of Abreia, Book 1

By: Kenley Davidson

Narrated by: Vanessa Moyen

He’ll protect her with his last breath…

Until she becomes his next target.

Leisa’s ambitions used to be simple. Guard the princess. Hide her magic. Wait for her family to return.

But all of that changes when her king demands that she use her unique abilities to spy on the rival kingdom of Garimore.

Alone, far from home, and living a lie that grows more perilous by the day, Leisa’s task is complicated by her most dangerous enemy yet—the masked assassin known only as the Raven.

Everyone in the Five Thrones knows to fear him, but the Raven is not what Leisa expected. As silent as he is lethal, he provokes her curiosity as much as her fear, and hides secrets she’s determined to learn.

When her already precarious mission takes a deadly turn, Leisa must evade the Raven himself if she is to succeed. It’s never been done before, but Leisa is nothing if not stubborn. And if she doesn’t become the first to escape his blade, her entire kingdom will pay the price—in blood.

If you love warring kingdoms, strong, sassy heroines, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance, discover the Legends of Abreia, a complete epic romantic fantasy series for fans of Elise Kova, Tara Grayce, and Sylvia Mercedes!

fun

So far, this is a clean, fun fantasy novel perfect for teens. From the beginning. I felt the injustice of the young man being controlled by another and his revulsion to kill for the evil king. Against her will, a young girl is sent in place of the princess to make sure the kingdom to which the princess is betrothed is on the up and up. The girl finds much danger in secrets revealed; not least of all the person in armor who is being forced to kill and may even be forced to kill her.

LOVE LOVE LOVE!

I have read these two books several times, and even then, I liked the story SO much that I also bought the audiobook. Clean story, suspense, romance, and strong leads.
