To protect the throne, seventeen-year-old spy Kali must play a male guardsman trainee by day and royal lady by night. 

Orphaned and trained on a spymaster’s remote estate, Kali is a scout who works alone in the shadows. But when a terror group threatens the Dansil throne, the king forces Kali to accept a mission at the palace or forfeit her sister’s life. 

Suddenly thrust into the light, Kali must infiltrate high society as the royal Lady Lianna while penetrating the servant ranks as Kal, a male guardsman trainee. It doesn’t help that Trace, the harsh and enigmatic captain of the king’s guard, is soon assigned as both Lady Lianna’s palace escort and Kal’s commanding officer. 

As Kali edges closer to the truth behind the violent group’s identity, she uncovers dangerous secrets that could bring her mission to a brutal end. A scout’s job is to observe and report, never to engage . . . but if it means saving her sister and kingdom, Kali may have no choice. 

TRACING SHADOWS, by Amazon bestselling author Alex Lidell, is the first novel in the Scout series. Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce, Leigh Bardugo, and Sarah J. Maas.

My Rating: 5 Stars
My Recommendation: High

Another beautiful well crafted book by Alex Lidell. I devoured her Tides series, and now I have a new one to obsess over.

Lets start with the tec. The writing was smooth, engaging and easy to follow. (As with her other books) The story moved at a good fast pace, keeping the plot the focus and on point. The world building, just one simple word, amazing! Alex has this way with words that transports you into the story.

I loved every second of this book. The story; unique and original. The characters; complex, well rounded and relatable. The twist, turns and ... man you needs to gets your hands on this book!

I'm not going to say anymore in case I slip and start retelling the book to you. Take my high recommendation that you will not only love this book, but be obsessed.

Happy Reading.
