Paladin's Hope

By T. Kingfisher
Paladin's Hope by T. Kingfisher digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

Piper is a lich-doctor, a physician who works among the dead, determining causes of death for the city guard's investigations. It's a peaceful, if solitary profession…until the day when he's called to the river to examine the latest in a series of mysterious bodies, mangled by some unknown force.

Galen is a paladin of a dead god, lost to holiness and no longer entirely sane. He has long since given up on any hope of love. But when the two men and a brave gnole constable are drawn into the web of the mysterious killer, it's Galen's job to protect Piper from the traps that await them.

He's just not sure if he can protect Piper from the most dangerous threat of all…

Paladin's Hope Reviews

Rolling on the Floor Laughing Face“I really love reading about the Saints of Steel and thoroughly enjoyed this installment just as much as the others. Galen and Piper are such a sweet, well-matched couple. I was especially glad to see Galen finally move past his self-deprecation and stubborn stupidity to recognize that Piper is more than capable of holding his own and that their relationship is worth taking a chance on 🥰 Although this book is much shorter than the previous two, I actually found it incredibly engaging. I loved getting a glimpse into the Ancients and seeing how the world used to be before the Clocktaur War. That added depth and history made the story feel fresh and fascinating. *side note upon googling Clocktaur I found T.Kingfisher has done a duology on the Clocktaur War! Yay!* It was also a real treat to check in on the other two Paladins and see how their relationships with their partners have continued to grow and blossom. 🧶🐻 Overall, a shorter read but a very satisfying one, especially for fans of the series.”
“This was such a cute story! I loved the crushing and yearning between these two men. When I read the previous books I was hoping Galen would also be a protagonist because I wanted to see someone helping him feel safe and loved even while he struggles with the battle tide. So happy it's Dr Piper that filled that role, they are so cute together 🥰 loved the ending as well.”
