Song of the Fallen Swords

Those who rise, must fall. Ever since Radyn was young, he’s dreamed of becoming one of the clan, an elite Sword or Dagger tasked with the protection of Firestone, his city. But when a violent raid steals all that he holds dear, he swears a new oath: One day he will become the strongest Sword in Firestone. As Radyn pursues his dream, he comes to realize his city is in tremendous danger. Enemies amass both within and without, and the city is closer to falling than anyone knows. The balance of power is shifting across the world, and Radyn and his allies are caught in the middle.

Haunted by memories of his recent failures, Radyn works the fields of Firestone in an attempt to put the past far behind him. But on a date with Aria, he’s arrested by Shields for the crime of murder. The investigation throws Radyn into the heart of a developing conspiracy, a darkness spreading throughout both Firestone and its neighbors. Those in power know the clock is ticking for the ancient cities, and their responses are suitably desperate.

The forces of darkness gather, determined to destroy humanity for good. Exiled from his home, Radyn fights the land and the monsters that inhabit it to build a new life for his family. All seems well until a deadly assault on a clear spring morning announces the arrival of a new enemy. Now Radyn must uncover the evil behind the attack before it destroys all that he loves. In Firestone, Nikki is summoned by the Blade to solve a murder without a body. She finds not just a murder, but a conspiracy to destroy Firestone along with all the remaining cities.
