If you love these qualities as much as I do, then Wicked Saints is a must-read for you!

Wicked Saints sounds pretty epic, right? Now I want to dive just a little deeper (in a non-spoilery way, of course) and share some of the highlights of the story for me. * * * * * 5 REASONS WHY WICKED SAINTS SHOULD BE ON YOUR MUST-READ LIST She begins to question everything and has no idea who she can trust, if anyone…Ĭan Nadya bring an end to this war and bring peace to her people or is she destined to fail?

When they start implementing their plan, however, it becomes clear to Nadya that nothing and no one is as they seem. Since he’s the one driving the war, they think eliminating him is the key to peace. The rebels say that they want to bring this war to an end, and when Nadya says she does as well, they hatch a plot to work together and assassinate the King. Nadya manages to escape but is on her own until she meets up with a band of rebels, led by Malachiaz. When the novel opens, the monastery is under attack because the King’s men, including his son Crown Prince Serefin, have figured out where Nadya is hiding and have been sent to kill her. As the last in her land who is able to call magic from the saints, Nadya had a target on her back and therefore has spent most of her life hiding in a monastery.

In fact, there is only one cleric left, a teenager named Nadya. This war has been raging for a long time and the King is so close to his objective, he can practically taste victory. The heretics loathe all that the religious land stands for and the King of their land has made it his mission to wipe out his enemy. It’s also a multi-layered story that features a religious war, political intrigue, morally gray characters, and a pretty hefty dose of secrets and lies.Īt the center of the novel is a war between two lands, one is a land filled with heretics who rely on blood magic, while the other, a more religious land, is filled with those who worship saints and with clerics who can communicate with the saints and borrow their powers. Duncan’s Wicked Saints is a dark and gritty fantasy that captivated me and kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I’m thrilled to be able to share my thoughts on this riveting read today.Įmily A. Thanks so much to Wednesday Books for inviting me to take part in the blog tour for Wicked Saints.
