Daggerbound

by T. Kingfisher

Our rating

Spice 1/5 Darkness 2/5

Spice: barely any. Darkness: some dark moments.

Back in the Swordheart world, a scholar accidentally wakes an immortal warrior bound to a blade. Kingfisher's dry humor and decent people trying their best, with real fights but very little heat. The cozy pick on this list.
