The Executioner's Daughter

Daran has not visited the capital of the Damerel kingdom in almost 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 years past still haunt him.

Daran is the only one who can still hear the voice of his god in his head, and it leads him, turn by turn, to the city's back alleys and further on 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 metallic, which makes her a skilled killer.

Efeni is accustomed to using her abilities to punish evil people, but when she receives a life-threatening task from her foster father, the Prince of Damerel, she doubts her skills are sufficient. Fortunately, Efeni's real father agrees to help her.

Jenni Helin's debut novel, The Executioner's Daughter, is an enthralling fantasy story that takes the reader to the heart of complex family relationships, power struggles, and moral questions.
