Happy Friday!
When I finish a couple books later today, this third fairytale-esque story from Shannon Hale is what I'm planning to start next. I've enjoyed the series so far, so I'm thinking it'll be good.
First Line: Ingridan was an ancient city.
From Page 56: The punching of his heartbeat made him feel knocked about, exposed. Not alone.
ABOUT THE BOOK
In this beloved third book in the Books of Bayern, from New York Times bestselling author Shannon Hale, Razo must become the unlikely hero his country needs.
Razo has never considered himself anything but ordinary--and certainly not a great soldier. So he's sure it's out of pity that his captain asks him to join an elite mission escorting the ambassador into Tira, Bayern's greatest enemy.
But when the Bayern arrive in the strange southern country, it's Razo who discovers the first dead body. He is also the only Bayern able to befriend the right people--potential allies who can provide information about the ever-increasing murders--like the beautiful Lady Dasha. If Razo can embrace his talents, he might be the only one who can get the Bayern soldiers home alive.
The third book in master storyteller Shannon Hale's beloved Books of Bayern series is equal parts fantastical and romantic, with an unforgettable protagonist to root for at its center.
