They destroy the clay heads Grace goes back to her shop She learns the Marguerite was not her friends real name&she left leaving a note behind saying they’ll meet again Stephen&Grace agree to make their lives work for their relationship!! More perfumes & knitting!
All done. This was pretty good. I think there was a series that came out previously&was set in the same world so maybe I should check that out!

Istvhan&all paladins find them in the chapel the next day bc the bloodhounds led them there suddenly every1 knows&is there Ppl are ordering the head guard to arrest Stephen&Grace It’s back&forth DuValier joins in saying the prince is dead BUT the prince pulls up&is like hey DuValier ik you are the once behind all this I’m not dead yet Stephen&Grace are let free They find a kiln where some1 was making clay heads

Stephen&Grace are both conflicted bc they want each other but feel like they can’t In the night some1 breaks in2 Grace’s shop&steals her notes Next day the messenger stops by HMMM Stephen wants 2apologize2 Grace abt how he reacted after the kiss He finds out the Grace was arrested4poisoning the CrownPrince He gets the Bishop2take on her case Messenger visits her&says the prince is blue like the failed assassin

They go2a coroner who says theboy assassin was already poisoned b4 he took theglass pill which was strange TheCrownPrince orders more the scent thatGrace made him The3of them deliver it The messenger flirtswGrace which puts Stephen in a tizzy he doesn’t trust him Grace&Stephen go to a forest to collect moss for her They kiss butStephen messes it up bc he’s afraid to hurt her She smells smthg&steps on severed head

Marguerite tells them that the papers blatantly frame Anuket City for placing the order of assasination so they’re trying to figure out if it’s true or if it’s supposed to confuse whoever finds it Stephen tells his bishop abt the meeting&she assigns him to get more info from the girls Stephen knits Grace a pair of socks aww
I just realized the meaning of the title being Paladin’s (Stephen) Grace (the FMC)

Forgot 2mention there’s some1 going around beheading ppl&throwing their heads in2 the river Also that Marguerite is a spy for Anuket City&Grace is from the city ANYWAYS
Stephen rescues Grace from fainting by bringing her into a hall He escorts them to leave&they stumble upon a failed assasination attempt The assassin poisons himself Marg takes papers that the boy had on him&tells Stephen to meet them@Grace’s shop

There is a reception for a visiting crown prince Stephen is there as a guard for the White Rat bishop Grace’s friend brings her to present a scent for the crown prince We have learned that Grace used to be married to a horrible man named Phillip who cheated on her but he’s gone now (idk where) Stephen sees Grace while she’s presenting her scent Afterwards he finds her & is going to start talking to her!

Grace is a perfumer&the woman Stephen bumped into in the alleyway She cannot stop thinking abt how kind&handsom Stephen waa&Stephen can’t stop thinking of her either They both tell their best friends abt the alleyway&their friends are eager to help them find each other bc this is the first time they have both been infatuated by another

Stephen is a paladin for the dead Saint of Steel When he died the paladins were taken over by fits that made them uncontrollably dangerous & it can happen every so often Since his temple closed hism&his surviving paladins were taken in by another temple&they work as guards One day he was walking back from protecting a healer He protected a women in an alleyway They hit it off but didn’t get each others names
