Soul Blade

The Three Nations are crumbling.
Darkness is gathering.
Only one remains to stand against it.

Eric stumbles through the wilderness, searching, hunting - desperate for sign of his sister. But the girl is gone, stolen away by the power of the Soul Blade. With each passing hour its hold on her tightens, her spirit fading before the onslaught of its magic. If he cannot save her soon, it will claim her soul. And he will have to kill her.

Meanwhile, Gabriel is trapped, imprisoned in the black cells beneath Ardath. The darkness presses in around him, absolute, suffocating. Time, hope, sanity, all have long since slipped beneath the waves of his despair. Only it remains - the unrelenting voice of the demon. It haunts the darkness, tempting him with the promises of freedom. How long can he resist its call?

Author Interview

What made you start writing epic fantasy novels?
Well, growing up on a steady diet of David Eddings and Christopher Paolini (and later George R. R. Martin), this has always been the genre I most identified with. That classic quest, with a young man setting out to conquer the world, resonated with me as a young reader. As an adult, I wanted to give that idea a darker twist though. And thus, the Sword of Light trilogy was born.

Who would enjoy this novel?
Anyone with a taste for the dark and gritty side of fantasy, particularly readers of authors such as Brandon Sanderson and David Gemmell. If you like happy endings and heroic escapes where everyone makes it out alive, this might not be the story for you!
