An addictive new fantasy series set in a world where magic is fuelled by pleasure and pain, in which an obsessive detective infiltrates a brutal gang of dark mages - knowing that one wrong move will get her killed...
Two decades ago, the Bloodmoons ruthlessly murdered Saffron's parents, destroying her idyllic childhood. Hellbent on revenge, she lied her way into the elite Silvercloak Academy of detectives with a single goal: find a way to bring the Bloodmoons to justice.
But on the eve of her graduation, her deception is exposed, and she's given only one option: go undercover and tear the Bloodmoons down from the inside.
Descending into a world where pleasure and pain are the most powerful currencies, Saff must commit some truly heinous deeds to keep her cover - and her life. Not only are there rival gangs and sinister smuggling rings to contend with, there's also her growing feelings for the kingpin's tortured son, and a curious prophecy foretelling his death at Saff's hand.
With each day testing her loyalties further, Saff’s web of lies becomes harder to spin. And when one false step could destroy everything and everyone she's ever loved... the mage who dedicated her life to vengeance might just have to die for it.

About the Author
L. K. Steven is an award-winning author from the northernmost town in England. She has written several young adult novels as Laura Steven, such as Every Exquisite Thing, The Society for Soulless Girls, and Our Infinite Fates. When she's not writing twisty SFF and horror, you can probably find her trail running, reading chunky fantasy novels, baking cookies, venturing on Pokemon Go safaris, playing old men at chess, or ignoring her husband and son to perfect her Stardew Valley farm. Silvercloak is her adult debut.
