The Hangman's Daughter

Daran hasn't set foot in the capital of Damerel for nearly twenty years. As the last Executioner of Idris, the God of Death, he was forced to flee the city to survive, and the events of those years still haunt him.

Daran is the only one who can still hear the voice of his god in his head, and it guides him, turn by turn, through the city's back alleys and further, to his unknown daughter.

Efeni Tarec is the Princess of Damerel. She has never met her real father but has inherited the abilities of the Executioners from him. Efeni can control all things metal, which makes her a skilled killer.

Efeni is used to using her abilities to punish evil people, but when she receives a life-threatening mission from her adoptive father, the Prince of Damerel, she doesn't believe her skills are sufficient. Fortunately, Efeni's real father agrees to help her.

Jenni Helin's debut novel, The Executioner's Daughter, is a captivating fantasy story that takes the reader into complex family relationships, power struggles, and moral questions.
