The Paladin's Shadow by Tavia Lark Book review

The Paladinโ€™s Shadow, which is the second book in Tavia Larkโ€™s fabulous Radiance romantic fantasy trilogy, has an exciting kidnapping / heist / quest vibe, as we learn the other side of events referenced in the first book.

The Necromancer's Light by Tavia lark

The Necromancerโ€™s Light is one of those feel-good romantic fantasy books I keep coming back to. Itโ€™s a beautiful weave of love and redemption and magic and action.
