The Faceless Mage
by Kenley Davidson
Well this book was an unexpected, delightful treat!
The King's Raven is the mysterious, taciturn personal bodyguard of King Melger. Despite his aloof and morose demeanor, he positively inspires curiosity. From the few glimpses we're given into his mind, he surely has a most tantalizing history and I need to know more! He is most perplexing and there is decidedly more than meets the eye. He isn't merely full of rage and hatred, nay he is a complex tapestry of emotions that Leisa must unravel, both for her own sake and for mine.
Leisa is the captivating, exuberant bodyguard of Princess Evaraine. Despite her less than stellar childhood, she is a daring spitfire with oodles of benevolence to go around. She is highly trained and is a warrior regardless of how little others may think of her. She's here to kick ass and wear flounces, and she's all out of flounces.
I began reading this book not knowing what to expect and as the tale unfolded, it expeditiously maneuvered it's way onto my favorite's list. I find myself keen to begin the 2nd book.
He would have wagered there was nothing fragile or harmless about her, but there was no one to wager with. And in any case, he had no plans to share his observations. No one cared what he saw or what he thought. He was mute judgment made flesh, and he did only what his master commanded.

Once, he’d had a name. Now, he was nothing. Only dark purpose. King’s Raven, cloaked in the blood and the screams of the king’s enemies.

The princess looked up into his mask and smiled. As if he hadn’t just threatened her life. “Yes. I will do what I must. As will you. But don’t think to tell me who I am allowed to defend, let alone how. I choose who I will care about, just as I choose which battles are mine to fight.” She tweaked death’s whiskers with a smile, and it hurt him. It hurt as nothing had hurt him in years, because she was brave and beautiful and ridiculous, and he was going to have to kill her someday. He’d intended to intimidate her. To convince her that she should treat him as an enemy. Instead, she’d somehow decided he required a defender.
