Five stars:
Daggerbound by T. Kingfisher (2026) is the second book in the Swordheart series set in the world of the White Rat. Learned Edmond is back, older and retired from the order. His last task for them is to deliver a sword, some ancient books, and a mule to a temple in Archon's Glory. Simple right?
