Summary

He's a paladin of a dead god, tracking a supernatural killer across a continent. She's a nun from a secretive order, on the trail of the raiders who burned her convent and kidnapped her sisters.

When their paths cross at the point of a sword, Istvhan and Clara will be pitched headlong into each other's quests, facing off against enemies both living and dead. But Clara has a secret that could jeopardize the growing trust between them, a secret that will lead them to the gladiatorial pits of a corrupt city, and beyond....

Sweet, spicy and bloody

I enjoyed the second instalment of this series immensely. It was the perfect mix of fantasy and romance (it leans more to the fantasy narrative than real spice but I enjoy those types of books more) it had a really great plot with some things I wasn’t expecting. The narrator was excellent too. I will be buying the third book immediately!

Loved this audiobook!!

Just as good as the first story, only this one has stakes that are a bit higher, making the story a bit less fluffy. Clara's character is marvellous and I love how she manages to shake up Istvhan! Managing to create a female protagonist who can and does physically dominate the male love interest, even when he is the biggest guy around? *Chefs kiss!* I also really enjoyed his contemplations about his role as a paladin, and the blind faith he'd had in his god that he has since questioned. This writer does an excellent job of subtly poking at a lot of fantasy genre tropes in a way that I really enjoy.

The relentless passion of a Paladin and a Bear.

The relentless passion of a Paladin and a Bear, not to mention fighting bad people and hunting monsters. Great story with superb narration. 🙂

Fantastic narration really adds to a great story. These books have everything. Mystery, suspense, love interests, bears. Creepy villains, nuns. What more could you want?

Cozy fantasy romance with added dismemberments

The second of the paladin series, set in the world of the white rat. Absolutely stellar, fantastic writing as ever.

Great story and perfect narration.

I really enjoyed Swordheart so didn’t hesitate to add this second one to my wish list then got it with my next credit. This Paladin story is just as good.

Gripping , sexy , great characters!

Found this series when grieving after finishing Mr Mercedes - it’s hard to follow Stephen Kings excellent storytelling. The paladin series came to my rescue - plus the narration was stunning and very sexy . I have already added all the Titles I can find by this author to my library . Can’t wait to start the next paladin chapter.

Amazing story and great actor/reader

Such a magical fun story for adults and it is really fun and engaging to listen to. I love all the narrations in this series. The voices for each character are unique without sounding over acted and obnoxious. The narrator’s voice is very soothing and really gets the essence of each character all through his voice.

Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Istvhan's character really shone in Paladin's Grace even though he had a supporting role, this book follows Istvhan and Clara and I loved every second of it.

I love the world T. Kingfisher has created it's so easy to immerse yourself into. I've enjoyed the previous stories - Swordheart and Paladin's Grace - but Paladin's Strength really snared my attention. All the characters are great but Clara and Istvhan are captivating, they're good and flawed, brave and vulnerable, hopeful and hopeless at times, everything has been so well balanced, the humour is just so, this story truly wowed me.
