The King Slayer by Virginia Boecker
It’s released this month and I was lucky enough to get an advance reading copy. I haven’t read it yet but I will be reading this this week so watch the blog for my review. Hopefully I will love it just as much as I loved book one, The Witch Hunter. Below is the blurb for The Witch Hunter. (Not The King Slayer because it may contain spoilers).
Your greatest enemy isn’t what you fight, but what you fear.
Elizabeth Grey is one of the king’s best witch hunters, devoted to rooting out witchcraft and doling out justice. But when she’s accused of being a witch herself, Elizabeth is arrested and sentenced to burn at the stake.
Salvation comes from a man she thought was her enemy. Nicholas Perevil, the most powerful and dangerous wizard in the kingdom, offers her a deal: he will save her from execution if she can break the deadly curse that’s been laid upon him.
But Nicholas and his followers know nothing of Elizabeth’s witch hunting past–if they find out, the stake will be the least of her worries. And as she’s thrust into the magical world of witches, ghosts, pirates, and one all-too-handsome healer, Elizabeth is forced to redefine her ideas of right and wrong, of friends and enemies, and of love and hate.
Quick note – does anyone else think of Jaime Lannister from Game of Thrones every time they read the title King Slayer? I’m currently watching series 3 so it’s rather fresh in my mind but I just thought it was funny as this series was described as being like Graceling meets Game of Thrones.
