Three rival mages race for power, vengeance, and the fate of Atherin in the epic second instalment of the Silvercloak Saga,
With thanks to Keighley_Reads for the below review.
This was hands down one of my most anticipated reads of 2026, so I was absolutely thrilled to receive an ARC from Tea Leaves & Reads to review!
Where do I even start? I loved Silvercloak – the plot, the world, and especially both Levan and Saff. After that huge cliffhanger at the end of book one, I was so glad that Turncloak picked up right where we left off!
I loved seeing the world expand, diving deeper into some of the supporting characters, and learning more about Levan and Saff’s backgrounds.
You could really feel the mistrust, tension, and longing between the two main characters throughout the book. The short, alternating chapters kept me hooked and constantly wanting to know what would happen next.
Standout chapters for me:
• Chapter 42 – The Defense Rests – I do love a bit of courtroom action! 😂
• Chapter 53 – Tiny Bat’s Arsehole – I mean… what a chapter title! 😂
I’d definitely recommend rereading Silvercloak before picking this one up to refresh your memory on the characters – and especially that ending!
About the Book
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?
