Paladin's Hope

Written by T. Kingfisher

Narrated by Joel Richards

Piper is a lich-doctor, a physician who works among the dead, determining causes of death for the city guard's investigations. It's a peaceful, if solitary profession . . . until the day when he's called to the river to examine the latest in a series of mysterious bodies, mangled by some unknown force.

Galen is a paladin of a dead god, lost to holiness and no longer entirely sane. He has long since given up on any hope of love. But when the two men and a brave gnole constable are drawn into the maze of the mysterious killer, it's Galen's job to protect Piper from the traps that await them.

He's just not sure if he can protect Piper from the most dangerous threat of all . . .

Reviews for Paladin's Hope

[Gairuntee · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

This is a great fantasy book featuring gay male romance. This one wasn't swoon worthy like the others since I'm a straight woman but still enjoyable.

[Paul H · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a glorious final chapter in the Paladin trilogy. A deeper dive into 2 characters from the previous books, a fantastic setting very well described and, as always, just the right amount of romance!

[Catherine Pridmore · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A really good one - loved the plot. The ending was a slight cliffhanger that may never be resolved, which is a shame.

[Dusk Tippets · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I loved this book so much that the first time I read it I immediately read it thrice more! It's a really cute romance with a lot of dark humor. I love the pairing of a paladin and a mortician. I can't begin to explain how much I fell in love with Piper's dry wit, and the humor that gets unexpectedly introduced from his job. If nothing else this is definitely dry humor done right.

I sure do hope there will be more of this series. The third book was just as amazing as the first two, but that final cliffhanger was a jaw-dropper! I need to know more!
I also loved that the third book had some queer romance. Very refreshing.
