Stephen’s god died on the longest day of the year…

Three years later, Stephen is a broken paladin, living only for the chance to be useful before he dies. But all that changes when he encounters a fugitive named Grace in an alley and witnesses an assassination attempt gone wrong. Now the pair must navigate a web of treachery, beset on all sides by spies and poisoners, while a cryptic killer stalks one step behind…

From the Hugo and Nebula Award winning author of Swordheart and The Twisted Ones comes a saga of murder, magic, and love on the far side of despair.

Stabby fantasy fun

Continuing through T Kingfisher's world. Yet another romance. Yet again very funny. Although I can see the novelty of each character's self-doubt wearing off after a bit. At least in this book both protagonists have good backstory reasons for feeling unworthy of love.

Also more gnoles, reminding me somewhat of Lackey's hertasi - no-nonsense non-humans. Technically this is the first of what the author promises to be a SEVEN-book sequence, but at least the first three (existing now in 2023), I'd say have a relatively minor link together.
