Episode 5: Bloodguard by Cecy Robson
In this episode of A Pod of Wings and Filth, we kick off our next buddy read with Bloodguard by Cecy Robson—a brutal, high-stakes fantasy full of blood-soaked arenas, deadly secrets, and dangerous alliances.
We dive into the story of Leith of Grey, a gladiator fighting for redemption in the gladiator pits of the Kingdom of Arrow. When a cunning elven princess named Maeve offers him a shot at freedom—and a royal crown—he’s thrust into a deadly game where trust is a liability, love is a battlefield, and survival comes at a steep cost.
Get ready for rage, romance, and ruthless action as we break down this dark, gripping read. Spoilers ahead—let’s go.
