The Complete Scout, Books I & II
To protect the throne, seventeen-year-old spy Kali must play a male guardsman trainee by day and royal lady by night.
Orphaned and trained on a spymaster’s remote estate, Kali is a scout who works alone in the shadows. But when a terror group threatens the Dansil throne, the king forces Kali to accept a mission at the palace or forfeit her sister’s life.
Suddenly thrust into the light, Kali must infiltrate high society as the royal Lady Lianna while penetrating the servant ranks as Kal, a male guardsman trainee. It doesn’t help that Trace, the harsh and enigmatic captain of the king’s guard, is soon assigned as both Lady Lianna’s palace escort and Kal’s commanding officer.
As Kali edges closer to the truth behind the violent group’s identity, she uncovers dangerous secrets that could bring her mission to a brutal end. A scout’s job is to observe and report, never to engage . . . but if it means saving her sister and kingdom, Kali may have no choice.
This SCOUT box set edition contains both TRACING SHADOWS and UNRAVELING DARKNESS, by KDP-all star author Alex Lidell. Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce, Leigh Bardugo, and Sarah J. Maas.

Alex Lidell’s Scout duology caught my attention from the moment I heard about Tracing Shadows. It screamed out to me, offering so many of the things I love, and I happily devoured the book. It was addictive in all the best ways, and the moment I was finished I was desperate to dive into Unraveling Darkness. The second book was just as fun as the first, hooking me and refusing to let go.
Without a doubt, the Scout books are hugely underrated. They’re books I will happily read again, and they left me desperate for more of Alex Lidell.

AMAZING
The whole story had me on my toes and put me through a rollercoaster. I loved the building on the passion and story. The mystery behind it and the connections between the characters.

It was a pretty good series. I do love a lead female character. I do think this could have been three books though. Yes, it was wrapped up in two, but it could have been less rushed. Good read!!!
