About this ebook

As the world ends once more, the Goddess chooses who she will wield against Abomination

In Lyndiniam: A street thief attempts a heist far more ambitious than anything he has done before, but due to circumstances outside his control, finds himself locked up for crimes he both did and did not commit. A strange woman with abilities Jamirh does not understand breaks him out, and he finds himself on the run - fleeing to Romanii, a country he thought no longer existed.

In Ni Fon: A shinobi is banished by the Empress for killing her daughter and his fiancée, Princess Hotaru. This is a ploy, however - Takeshi is still working for Ni Fon despite the murder, trying to learn information about a rebellion against the Rose Empire that Ni Fon will be able to leverage to regain their own freedom.

Though thousands of miles apart, both Jamirh and Takeshi find themselves pulled into an ancient struggle between forces far beyond anything they have ever dreamed of, whether they want to be or not.

Lost Blades is the first book in Blades of the Goddess, a high fantasy series with urban and sci-fi elements. This series will appeal to all ages, especially fans of the Shannara Chronicles, the Chronicles of Amber, and the Heralds of Valdemar.

Ratings and reviews

Lost Blades introduces such a dizzying array of characters and concepts, and I mean that in the absolute best way. Ninja assassins, super-powered cops, pirates, vampires, giant wolves, cyborgs. I'm being a bit glib, but the writing is so fantastic that all of these elements fit together seamlessly. Each character has a unique voice and I loved spending time with all of them. I'm glad that future installments are already in the work, because I devoured this and absolutely cannot wait for more!
