The thrilling third entry in the high fantasy saga that started with BookTok sensation A Broken Blade.
“It seems fate has dealt me the same hand again. I know how to play it.”
A new king is on the throne and the rebellion lies in ruins. Keera spends her days drinking and her nights avoiding the strange dreams that have haunted her since she returned from the capital.
Keera’s family in Myrelinth won’t let her go without a fight. With new intelligence about the magical seals left behind by Keera’s ancient kin, the Light Fae, she rallies to face her demons and unleash the formidable powers she inherited from her people. But a shocking truth is hiding in plain sight, one with the power to unravel the entire rebellion...
The pivotal third installment in the Halfling Saga will upend everything Keera thought she knew about her enemies . . . and her allies.
The third entry in the Halfling Saga, the epic tale of a deadly assassin with a mysterious past, set in a lush fantasy world of Mortals, Elves, Halflings, and Fae, A Vicious Game is perfect for readers who enjoyed the A Court of Thorns and Roses series and other romantic fantasy books, especially those seeking LGBTQ+ romance or BIPOC representation.

Much like the other two books in this series, once I started it, I couldn't put it down. Blair continues to add twists and turns to Keera's story even three books into the series. Now, with the rebellion laid at her feet and a daunting task that only she can complete, Keera has to come to terms not only with her past, present, and future, but with the guilt of what she's leading an entire army of people.
Keera's story has always been fascinating to me. Her struggle to come to terms with her tasks as The Blade, and the atrocities she was forced to commit come home to roost in this book. There's so much on her plate that it leaves us to wonder, how much more can she take? The truth is a lot more, and when the hits keep coming, she has a decision to make. One that will alter the course of the war for everyone, including Riven.
The only question I am left with as a I finished this book is... when's the next one coming?
