Praise for Verity Guild

Thrilling and intense—Mai Corland never disappoints!

#1 New York Times bestselling author Danielle L. Jensen

Kera and Torren, whose simultaneous attraction to and suspicion of each other makes for a compelling reading experience... An engrossing murder mystery that will intrigue even readers from beyond the romantasy genre’s fan base.

Kirkus

Corland’s follow-up to her bingeable "Broken Blades" romantasy trilogy maintains her signature humor and command of the genre... Her latest is a locked-room mystery that makes one wonder what would happen if Agatha Christie had faes on her brain... The novel’s enemies-to-lovers plot is complicated by the locked-room mystery structure, even though the murder itself remains secondary to broader issues of concealed magical bloodlines, political intrigue, and other secrets. Fans of romantasy will appreciate the slow-burning steaminess and worldbuilding. With her political astuteness, along with her ability to tell a good story, Corland has created a romantasy with the suspense of Lucy Foley’s books and the tongue-in-cheek moments of Knives Out.
