Blurb

Victory is bought with blood.

After Vale reaches the rebel camp, she realizes she will need people on her side. Not just shaky allies, but people she can trust to watch her back and keep her secrets.

She befriends Namraya, a mysterious woman with a past darker than her own, and joins an order of outcasts called the Black Herons. With them, she is able to not only hone her skills with bow and blade but also explore her newfound, arcane gifts. Though her potential seems endless, she must reconcile the unfortunate truth that her lack of control might have dire consequences for those closest to her.

With the kingdom in chaos and her life haunted by uncertainty, she must forge herself into a weapon, unite her people, embrace her birthright, and conquer one of the world’s greatest fortress cities. If she does not, then the usurper will strip her soul of power and scatter her army to the winds.

Author

Will is an American author from the Midwest. He was born in a coastal town in Washington before his parents moved to a cattle ranch on the far side of the state. He attended university in a small town in Idaho, where he studied microbiology. After a brief reprieve, he attended veterinary school at the University of Missouri. His unique perspective on life, people, and circumstances can be seen woven through his creations.

Since the day he read his first novel, Will was hooked on this enticing realm of possibility, devouring books across every genre. He loves fantasy, especially epic fantasy with a dark side, but he will venture outside his comforts for a good mystery or anything portraying real-life events. Will began his career in 2020 with An Occasion to Mourn, which introduces the Kingdoms of Alytha.
