A Demon in Silver (War of Archons – 1) by RS Ford
In a world where magic has disappeared, rival nations vie for power in a continent devastated by war.
When a young farm girl, Livia, demonstrates magical powers for the first time in a century there are many across the land that will kill to obtain her power. The Duke of Gothelm’s tallymen, the blood-soaked Qeltine Brotherhood, and cynical mercenary Josten Cade: all are searching for Livia and the power she wields.
But Livia finds that guardians can come from the most unlikely places… and that the old gods are returning to a world they abandoned.

My Review
4 stars
Many years prior the Archons left and took magic with them. People have survived without the gods and magic for about one hundred years. But now things are starting to happen. Livia is a young farm girl that is starting to show magical abilities. Once word gets out everyone is after her so they can use her magic to their own gains. But she is not the only player in this new world. Others have their own roles to play as the magic and the Archons return.
We follow along with four characters as they navigate this world and the changes happening. This world is beautifully crafted and had great characters that made you care for them and hope that they make it through this dark world. I loved following between the four narrators as they circled around and eventually came together.
This is a wonderful start to a new fantasy series. There is a ton of action and some gruesome parts that just amped everything up. I can’t wait to read the next book and recommend this for anyone that loves fantasy.
I received a complimentary copy of this book. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
I would like to thank Titan Books for the opportunity to read and share this book.
