The Lascar's Dagger

by Glenda Larke

Overview

Faith will not save him.
Saker appears to be a simple priest, but in truth he's a spy for the head of his faith. Wounded in the line of duty by a Lascar sailor's blade, the weapon seems to follow him home. Unable to discard it, nor the sense of responsibility it brings, Saker can only follow its lead.
The dagger puts Saker on a journey to distant shores, on a path that will reveal terrible secrets about the empire, about the people he serves, and destroy the life he knows. The Lascar's dagger demands a price, and that price will be paid in blood.

Editorial Reviews

The dagger follows him everywhere. No matter where Saker Rampion goes, even to the far reaches of the Forsaken Lands, the weapon of the Lascar sailor pursues him. Not even the simple priest's robe he still wears to conceal his undercover mission can protect him. This new trade paperback and NOOK Book original series by Glenda Larke (The Stormford Trilogy) carries the allure of the spice trade and the bravery of young handmaidens. Scheming, spying, action, and adventure all wrapped up into one.

"Rich world building will capture the reader's interest. With a forceful heroine who is mature and experienced, Larke crafts a fantastic tale that moves beyond a typical coming-of-age fantasy. "
