Historical fantasies, sword fights, secret devil cults, lovers, operas, monks, thieves, girls dressing up as boys, boys dressing up as girls, murder, revenge, justice, beautiful dresses, foxes, singers, sinners, ghosts, fencing, dancing, death and the devil themself. The Devil's Blade by Mark Alder has everything a girl like me could want.
I was unsure about Julie at first but by the second chapter she had me grinning at the pages. And once she had me, she kept me. This book is a wild ride and absolutely bloodsoaked. Definitely worth the read. Add it to the murder ladies shelf.
