Sage Fowler is good at observing the world around her and when her kingdom’s borders are threatened she knows she can help.  Sage’s boyfriend, Alex Quinn, is the captain of his guard and wants Sage to stay away from anything that resembles fighting, but Sage knows her skill set can help so she goes around Alex and appeals to the queen.  When Sage finds herself with the army and realizes that Alex is trying to stave off an invasion she manages to help the kingdom but at a cost to her and Alex’s relationship.  

I totally enjoy the Traitor’s Kiss series because it has great chemistry between Sage and Alex, a well thought out plot and lots of action.  Sage is easy to love because she genuinely cares for those around her and is able to uncover the plot even though people often underestimate her because she is a girl.  The violence includes death from knives, arrows and fire.
