4.5

Brynn has spent her entire life training as a guard among the Alaha, a community exiled to the sea by the powerful Kenta. She believes she knows exactly where she belongs—until a routine trip to the Kenta’s annual market turns into a disaster. After inadvertently breaking a century-long peace treaty, Brynn finds herself in the crosshairs of an enigmatic rival soldier. This stranger is bound by an oath to drag her back to her origins, forcing her to confront a hidden history she never knew existed. Featuring a high-stakes enemies-to-lovers dynamic, the story thrusts Brynn into a dangerous journey across the high seas. As she narrowly escapes death, she discovers a world of forbidden magic and realizes her entire identity is built on lies. Her loyalty to her adopted home fractures as she finds herself dangerously drawn to the very man tasked with her capture. With the tension between them mounting, Brynn must choose between the life she has always defended and a truth that threatens to destroy everything she loves. *Metal Slinger* is an addictive, action-packed romantasy debut filled with political intrigue, sharp-edged knife fights, and shocking twists that will leave readers desperate for the sequel.

See all formats and editions The breakout romantasy sensation by Rachel Schneider that has taken the internet by storm—bursting with suspense, romance, and breathtaking twists, this heart-stopping debut also includes a bonus scene from the highly anticipated sequel, Light Wielder. Even though she's not one of them, Brynn has spent her life among the Alaha, training to be a guard and waiting for the chance to attend the annual market hosted by the Kenta—the very same people who exiled her adopted community to a life at sea. Going to the market is a rite of passage eagerly anticipated by all young guards, but Brynn does not anticipate breaking a century-long peace treaty while there. Nor does she plan for the intense encounter with an enemy soldier that now threatens to unwind the fragile coexistence between their people—and everything Brynn once believed about herself to be true. Brynn's loyalty to the Alaha is tested when the truth of her identity is brought to light by this soldier who's taken an oath to bring her back to where she belongs. Narrowly escaping death on the violent high seas, Brynn's connection to the Alaha is further tested when she learns about the world of magic she's been denied. She was once certain of her fate and where she belonged, but the dark, knowing eyes of this stranger have her questioning everything, including her heart. Packed with knife fights and seafaring adventure, Metal Slinger is the smash-hit start to the romantic fantasy duology, the Fire & Metal series. ) ©2024 Rachel Schneider (P)2025 Podium Audio Previous slide of product details 1.
