Court of Shadows

Blade and Rose Series, Book 3

By: Miranda Honfleur

Narrated by: Amanda Leigh Cobb

Answers to who killed her family. A trial to death. Is the truth worth the risk?

Master Mage Rielle is counting the months to her wedding when an unexpected invitation arrives from Magehold - to compete for magister. The magister’s mantle has been her dream for over a decade, but rumors accuse Magehold of shadowy deeds, among them killing families to collect promising young novices.

Piracy has been rampant along the Emaurrian coast, and Jon has his hands full with the immortals attacking, his forces spread too thin to handle it all. When Magehold announces that the winner of the Magister Trials will be granted one boon, Rielle is determined to ask for an end to the piracy that threatens so many others and harmed her own family and to investigate whether Magehold was responsible. But when she arrives, she learns that the trials have only one rule: survive.

Magehold could easily stamp out the piracy claiming countless lives, and if she wins the trials, Rielle could see it done. But with the other mages competing to kill, strangers hunting her in the shadows, and mysterious factions working behind the scenes, trying to win the test could mean the end of her life.

Will the trials give her the answers she seeks and the aid Emaurria sorely needs, or will they be her end?

Enter Blade and Rose and dive into a medieval world sensual and dark, full of magic and greed, love and blades, where factions vie for influence and there are no easy choices.

After finishing this book I cannot wait for the next book to be out on audible! This was a great book and Amanda Leigh Cobb was a fantastic narrator!
As always this book held me until the very end!

A Great addition to the series.

Wow! This series continues to be gut wrenching! Love the characters and the storyline. The story really draws you in. Can't wait for more!

These books are amazing, a must read!

I love these books so much, but boy do they take you for an emotional roller coaster! If you love a epic fantasy journey with a love story with so much angst and suspense you have to stop yourself from binging it you want to read this series! I love the narrator for these audio books, she does a great job.

Great story

I love this series and this book is no exception. Wonderful characters, wonderful story world, and I can’t wait for the next in this series!

Amazing

This series is amazing. It has everything you are looking for in a series. A little bit and alot of everything

Third in series - great series

This one continues where the 2nd book left off and continues the tale of Emouria and it's citizens from Rielle, Brennan, Jon and all others to include some new characters from the previous book and new ones into this book!
We follow the adventures of Rielle and Brennan as they start their engagement. Jon and his court as they look to the Grand Divineness for help, Lee and the light Elves and their quests et al.
A fabulous tale continuing what was started and to be continued in others - which I eagerly anticipate

The narrator, as previously mentioned is very good and covers the story well!! A great listen!

book 3

This book was so good...I cant wait till number four comes out to learn more...dont wanna do any spoilers but there are twists and turns and more cliffhangers but this books is as good as the first two. this author and narrator is amazing and I'm so glad I found them. Cant wait to continue the adventure when book 4 comes out.

Good story

Great addition to the series. It is beautifully written and continues the story of Rielle and her friends wonderfully.

Daring Adventure

I greatly enjoyed Court of Shadows.
This story takes many turns and although I would love to see all the characters I’ve grown attached to find happiness I find myself rooting for some more than others.
I truly love how well this author can shift from each set of characters. Taking individual stories and weaving them together to create one magnificent tale where all of their lives are interconnected.
I also really love how each character is multifaceted and has depth. Through out their journeys they continuously grow and change.
Can’t wait to dive into Queen of the Shining Sea.

Incredible series

Gosh, this series is fantastic! The writing is truly delightful, and is so creative and unique. The narration is effortless, and I am so impressed with Amanda Leigh Cobb's ability to transcend between characters and situations. Each character seems to come to life on the page. The setting is incredible, the word building is on point, and the attention to detail is beautifully done. This book truly has it all, including a battle for redemption, a gripping tale of self discovery, and ongoing ups and downs I think this series is so underrated, and I highly recommend, but start from the beginning!
