Warrior of Legend

#1 New York Times bestselling author Kendare Blake returns to the world of the Aristene in this epic fantasy novel as a young member of the order faces down old loves and old foes. A must-read for fans of Victoria Aveyard and Shelby Mahurin.

The cost was steep, but Reed is officially an Aristene.

And not just any Aristene, but a Glorious Death, guiding only those heroes whose glory costs them their lives. It is a heavy burden, but to forget the prince she left behind, Reed throws herself into it, harvesting heroes at what some say is a reckless pace.

So when Lyonene is summoned to guide a princess to a glorious marriage, Reed sees an opportunity-a hero who isn't fated to die-and they secretly arrange for Reed to go in her place. But instead of an easy mission, she arrives to find chaos: an old enemy is rising to threaten the Aristene, and one of the princess's suitors is Hestion, whom Reed still loves, and who may yet love her.

Reed has already given everything to the order. As oaths are broken and lives are lost, what more must she give to save her sisters, and herself?
