Daggerbound
New ReleaseNew York Times bestselling author T. Kingfisher returns to the charming fantasy world of Swordheart in this delightful and unexpected new romantic adventure.
Learned Edmund, a disillusioned scholar, is transporting yet another precious relic from one stuffy temple to a different stuffy temple. Another great adventure for the ages…
But when Edmund is set upon by bandits, in desperation, he breaks the cardinal rule and grabs for the relic, an ancient sword. To his surprise, instead of unsheathing a rusty, ancient weapon, an alarmingly handsome man appears, wielding daggers of blue steel and cutting the thieves down.
This man is the Dervish, an immortal warrior who’s been trapped for centuries in a sword of enchanted steel, and is angry as hell about it. He hates the curse that put him there, and he wants to hate Edmund, just as he has hated every wielder before him.
But the damned scholar is just so sweet and clever and kind. And while the Dervish may be able to protect Edmund from bandits, cultists, dragons, and strange inhuman diplomats, he may find it much harder to protect his own heart.

Okay that was super cute! I loved swordheart and I wasn’t sure going into this if I was going to like it less or more but I honestly really loved both of them and can’t really pick a favourite. I loved both of our mmc’s so much and sweet Edmund was truly the cutest ray of sunshine. The cast of characters was so amazing in this book, even better than in swordheart. I loved everyone so much I just want to read more in this world. I really need to hurry up and read the paladins series. I LOVED seeing Hala and Sarkis again 🥹🥹 I am so beyond excited for Angharads story I just know it’s going to be just as amazing and I can’t wait to get to see everyone together again because I know it’s going to be amazing. Also it’s sapphic!

I went into this blind, thinking “anything T Kingfisher writes I’ll read it” and after loving swordheart I knew I’d love the sequel. This was incredible! I think I might even love it more than the first! I greatly enjoyed seeing more of the Dervish’s pov, as well as seeing some returning characters 💕 The MM romance aspect was really cute and I found Edmund’s shyness (and subsequent blushing and nervous babbling) very endearing. I was not expecting the dragon!!! I really hope Dog Violet and Brindle end up together 🥺 they are the cutest Also I freaking love Large Francis
