Silvercloak

♾️ / ⭐️ INFINITE stars! 

Everybody buckle up for this one! Silvercloak is about to be your new OBSESSION. Set in a darkly corrupt world, where magic is fuelled by pleasure and pain, we follow Saffron, an elite Silvercloak, who goes undercover to infiltrate the Bloodmoon gang. 

Saffron’s assignment is slightly complicated when she meets Levan, the kingpins son. When I tell you, when we were introduced to him, I thought to myself multiple times ‘how is Laura going to get us to like this man?’ But like him we did *wink wink emoji* The romance was painfully slowburn and worked in perfect harmony with the pain-pleasure magic system, serving only to add to the wonderful atmosphere of Ascenfall

I was hooked from the very first page, and instinctively knew I was reading a five-star book. Writing this now, I genuinely feel a sense of grief that it’s over and I have to wait for more! The worldbuilding was quite frankly insane, with the magic system so intricately and uniquely woven into the fabrics of the world. In just short of 500 pages, Laura expertly crafts a world that is so gritty and addicting. The stakes could not have been higher, full of political intrigue, betrayal and plot twists. It’s all your favourite fantasy books come to life. The experience of reading it felt like the rage back in the day. I didn’t socialise for two days while I inhaled this book. 

Wand-wielding mages, heady underworlds, magical criminal gangs, Silvercloak had everything I adore in fantasy. 

Silvercloak releases this summer, and I will not shut up about it till it’s in everybody’s hands! Prepare for me to be insufferable! Thank you to L.K. Steven and Del Rey UK for this ARC, I’m eternally grateful to have read this before its release
