Five Broken Blades (The Broken Blades, #1)

by Mai Corland

The world will grab and pull at your humanity, try to strip you bare, but ultimately you decide whether to hang on or let go.

I should stop expecting hidden depth out of a puddle.

Whoever said there’s no love without trust was deep in their cups. Of course there can be love without trust. Harmony without trust, however, is a different story.

Loving somebody is needing two hearts to live instead of just the one. You’re better off alone.

A thief, a strongman, a spy, an assassin, a nobleman, and an exiled prince add up to a ring of liars. Trust is a surefire way to wind up with a blade in your back.
