will they turn against the throne? 👀

do you like a morally gray main character?

both of these books feature female assassins who serve their king or queen, and who must make some tricky decisions about their allegiances.

both main characters are tough, powerful, and have had to kill time and time again for their rulers.

but you’ll have to read the books to see how they change their identities!

... Read moreThe world of fantasy literature often features complex characters, especially female assassins like those found in 'We Are the Origin' by C.M. Lockhart and 'A Broken Blade' by Melissa Blair. In 'We Are the Origin,' the protagonist, blessed by the gods, faces a hard choice between her throne and her family as she enters a monumental war. Similarly, in 'A Broken Blade,' the king's blade grapples with her identity among mortals, elves, and halflings. Both narratives highlight the moral dilemmas faced by these strong women and how their decisions can redefine their identities, challenging the age-old themes of loyalty and betrayal while exploring deeper questions about power, freedom, and self-discovery.
