Review: Turncloak by L.K. Steven

September 16, 2026

Synopsis:

After the disastrous events in the Havenwood, Saffron Killoran’s revenge has slipped through her fingers. Still deep undercover within the Bloodmoon gang, she sees only one path forward: harness her long-dormant Timeweaver power to fix her most ruinous mistakes.

But Levan Celadon, now kingpin of the Bloodmoons, has discovered Saffron’s true identity. With old wounds reopening and a rival gang closing in, he questions the cause to which he has devoted his life – and the fate of the traitorous mage he loves.

Hot on their heels is Auria Marriosan, an ambitious rookie detective sent to stake out the Bloodmoons’ rivals. Grieving the loss of her betrothed at the scarlet hand, she will stop at nothing to destroy both gangs. But when the case uncovers shocking revelations, she must find a way to bring all the corrupt players to justice.

In this cat-and-mouse game of trust and betrayal spanning continents, the missing Fifth Prophecy could hold the key to everything. But will Saffron’s attempt to unmake time cast her as a hero… or a villain? And just how far will her rivals go to stop her?

Review: Silvercloak by L.K. Steven

Review:

I had high hopes for this one, considering how much I enjoyed the first book.

We started off with the aftermath of the events of the first one, and that was a lot. A few pages in, and I was hooked again. The betrayal by Saffron was heartbreaking. She and Levan were the highlight of book one, and while I understand why she did what she did, the fallout hurt me deeply. These two were a beacon of hope for each other, and the connection they built brick by brick was destroyed in an instant. Seeing how they would come out of it was something I really looked forward to. Every time they interacted, I could feel how much they were struggling. But having a common goal forced them to work together and find a way to move forward.

Then we had another pairing I was not prepared for. They were both initially connected through Saffron and disliked each other. When they suddenly had to work together to get out of a messy situation, they started to actually enjoy each other’s company and became something close to friends. I did not see that one coming, and it was something I fully supported.

I also appreciated being introduced to new characters and having the chance to spend time getting to know them. We also learned more about Levan’s past, especially his connection with his brother. I was not prepared for everything we learned about him, and when he finally joined the main story, he definitely arrived with a bang.

Overall, I felt that this book started a bit slower, allowing the consequences of the previous events to settle before gradually increasing the urgency. By the end, everything came together, and what an ending it was. This was such a fun read, and I am very happy to report that I enjoyed it just as much as the first book in the series.
