Blackchurch Guild is a training program that creates elite warriors called Shadow knights, under the training of some of the best knights in the world. None are more fierce or formidable than the Leviathan. Athdara de Ghent is on the run from her Uncle after he murdered her father and brother and took over their duchy in Toxandria. She comes to Blackchurch to seek help from her father's friends St. Denis, the owner of the guild. Blackchurch never takes sides in any conflict but St. Denis offers to train her for free so that she can lead and fight with an army. After surviving the dregs training and becoming a recruit, Athdara celebrates at a tavern with a friend and meets Tay Munroe, fierce-looking yet sweet and protective, who she connects with and makes plans to see again. But when she meets the Leviathan on the training field, a man known to fail any woman from training, she's shocked to learn that it's Tay. As they train together, Tay is impressed by her courage and intellect and wants to support her in her cause, but to do that he'll have to give up Blackchurch.
This is the first book I've read by Kathryn Le Veque and I really enjoyed it. This is the first book in her new series so it introduced a lot of characters. Athdara is such a strong female character and I loved how hard she fought for her little brother. Tay was the typical tough warrior, gruff and opinionated about a woman's place, but so sweet and protective and open to change for the right woman. I'm looking forward to reading about the other warriors in the guild.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
