A blade in the dark. Blood in the water. The hunt begins.
In the cursed swamps of Rotmoor, a new terror stirs.
They are called the Red Folk—silent specters rising from the sodden earth to strike without mercy, leaving only ruin and despair in their wake, and no blade or prayer seems enough to stop the creeping dread.
When Theron Ward, a seasoned monster hunter, and his battle-worn companions cross paths with the enigmatic Baron Ulrich Sturm, they are thrust into a web of mystery, vengeance, and secrets best left buried. The baron, a man shattered in body and spirit, speaks of a warlock named Vonlych, a giant of terrible power and unfathomable rage.
Haunted by visions of prophecy and driven by debts of blood and honor, Theron and his companions—Aldous the flame-wielding wizard, Celta the fearless shieldmaiden, Kendrick the cursed crusader, Chayse the unerring archer, and Gaige the tormented alchemist—must descend into darkness. But betrayal festers in the shadows, and the price of truth may be paid in blood and madness.
A blade in the dark. Blood in the water. The hunt begins.
For fans of dark fantasy, sword and sorcery, and epic quests, A Study in Scarlet Swords delivers relentless action, unforgettable characters, and a world teetering on the brink of ruin.
"Clever and well-written… The characters and setting of Fire and Sword immediately evoke similarities with the iconic The Witcher series by Andrzej Sapkowski and the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie."
