Description

Fantastic Beasts meets Assassin's Creed in this epic, gripping fantasy from debut author Maxym M. Martineau.

Eragon meets Furyborn in this gripping first instalment of an epic new YA fantasy series.

I will not fall. I will not flee. I will not break.

As a Charmer, Leena Edenfrell can tame the rare magical beasts that inhabit her world. When she's falsely accused of using her magic to charm a human, she's exiled and forced to sell her beloved creatures to survive. It's heartbreaking work, but if she can just make it through the next week, she'll have everything she needs to prove her innocence and return to the only home she's ever known.

That is, until she learns that the Charmer's Council has sent Noc, the realm's deadliest assassin, to find her. And Noc will stop at nothing until she's dead.

Determined to evade capture, Leena offers the dangerous hunter a deal — four magical beasts in exchange for her life... beasts with powers strong enough to break the curse that's killed everyone he's ever loved. Noc needs Leena. Yet, as these unlikely allies cross the realm in search of mythical creatures, Leena can't help but feel that Noc is hiding something — and that, no matter how hard she fights, her time may soon be running out.

Thrilling, intense, and impossible to put down, Kingdom of Exiles is perfect for readers looking for:

Books like Sarah J. Maas' Kingdom of Ash and Kalyn Josephson's Storm Crow
High fantasy with paranormal and romance elements
Multidimensional characters and expert world-building
A unique premise and a plot to die for
