The Illusion of Strength

Quote ~ 18 February 20253 February 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

The Paladin’s Shadow (Radiance 2) by Tavia Lark | Book Review

Image ~ 3 February 2025 ~ Garc ~ Leave a comment

The Paladin’s Shadow leans into the Radiance series’ signature mix of hurt/comfort, betrayal, and magic but with a more playful energy thanks to Karis, a new recruit with a sharp tongue and sharper magic.
