Scoundrel of Claymore Keep: 2

Thirteen years in prison. One woman's betrayal. And the truth that could destroy a kingdom.Kurtz Chazir spent thirteen years rotting in a cell for a murder he didn't commit-the assassination of a king he loved. Now free, he's determined to hunt down everyone who conspired against him, starting with Careeanne Nariel, the woman who framed him with a smile and a kiss.But duty calls first. Kurtz must lead his mismatched spy team into Barth, a city cloaked in unnatural darkness, to find a missing land warden and uncover a sinister trafficking ring. Masquerading as a minstrel band, they'll need to infiltrate Duke Falkson's inner circle-the very man behind the king's murder.Complicating matters is Zanna tan Quelle, the infuriating half-giant soldier assigned to his team. She questions his every decision, challenges his authority, and refuses to acknowledge the danger she faces. Worse, she's making it impossible for him to focus on anything but keeping her alive.As magical darkness tightens its grip and ancient conspiracies surface, Kurtz must choose between the vengeance he's craved for years and protecting the woman he never expected to need. When Zanna is captured behind enemy lines, he'll risk everything-his mission, his freedom, even his life-to bring her home.Because some betrayals demand justice. And some women are worth tearing down a kingdom to save.Fans of Sarah J. Maas and Shari L. Tapscott will devour this action-packed Christian romantasy filled with enemies-to-lovers romance, sword-wielding heroines, and faith-fueled hope.
