# Paladin's Grace (The Saint of Steel)

*Author: T Kingfisher*

**Description:**
Stephen's god died on the longest day of the year... Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind... From the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author of _Swordheart_ and _The Twisted Ones_ comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.
