Tamara Siler Jones

Protection of the Holy Knights Tamara Siler Jones

Haunted by the ghosts of mutilated servant girls, desperate Castellan Dubric risked his page to look for ghost-stuff and catch their invisible killer. His bold move failed, and his page, Lars, nearly died. But Lars saw a scratch on Dubric's prime suspect, Lord Risley Romlin, grandson of the king, who has motive, opportunity, a weapon similar to the killer's, and an obsession with linen maid Nella. Each morning, another servant girl dies under the killer's razor, each murder more vicious than the last and their bodies left in the snow. Details of the murders suggest dark magic is involved, magic Dubric had fought a war to defeat, and soon guards are murdered beside the women they were ordered to protect. Meanwhile Risley, determined to win Nella's heart and ensure her safety at any cost, makes a bold move of his own.
