Ziva and her younger sister Temra were orphaned at an early age when their parents were murdered. Temra goes to school and Ziva provides for them as a blacksmith by forging weapons imbued with magic.
A warlord commissions a sword and Ziva inadvertently creates an unusually powerful and dangerous sword. When Ziva discovers that the warlord intends to enslave the world, she realizes that she can never let the sword fall into the woman's hands. She flees with Temra, a scholar of magic and a handsome mercenary.
Ziva has social anxiety and would rather spend time with iron and steel than people. On the road, with new companions, in constant danger, she is way out of her comfort zone.
Blade of Secrets is a binge-worthy, exciting, fast-paced adventure, with interesting characters, fun banter, romance, plot twists, and a unique heroine. A lot of readers will relate to Ziva's anxiety, and it is good to see this representation in the fantasy genre. I wished the book had been longer with more world building. I love the beautiful map by Noverantale. The story ends in a devastating cliff hanger, which is why I'm excited that the sequel is coming soon.
