__________________________________________
Two decades ago, the Bloodmoons ruthlessly murdered Saffron's parents, destroying her idyllic childhood. 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.

Reviews
An absolute masterpiece - I've never read a fantasy like it * Imani Erriu, author of Heavenly Bodies *
Lovely, lush, intricate and thoughtful. Reminds me of a favourite writer from childhood, and I do not make Diana Wynne Jones comparisons lightly! * Sarah Rees Brennan, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Long Live Evil *
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? * Kiersten White, No. 1 NYT Bestselling Author of Lucy Undying *
This will be your next fantasy obsession. Intricate world building, expertly woven with a thoroughly unique magic system, Silvercloak propels you through twists and turns with an ending you will not see coming * Rachel Greenlaw, author of Compass & Blade *
One of the best fantasies I've ever read * Jordan Gray, author of Bitten *
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. * Dawn Kurtagich, award-winning author of The Madness and The Dead House *
Lush, dangerous and utterly addictive * Lauryn Hamilton Murray, author of Heir of Storms *
