And another novel of mine launches! Sight of Flame, the first book in the Blade of Fate universe, is up on Amazon!
She can see every future. Every one of them ends with him dead.
One touch from a dying stranger, and Selene’s life is over. The sorceress who collapsed in her family’s courtyard passed something into her with her last breath: the ancient aspect of prophecy, the power to see the threads that bind every choice to its consequence. Within a day, her betrothal is torn up and her family has turned her out onto the road.
Half-drowned and out of places to run, Selene is pulled off a muddy forest track by Thorne, a scarred blacksmith and war veteran. He asks no questions. He offers her a horse, a fire, and a home in the quiet village of Briarford. There, among weavers, felting songs, and his sharp-tongued sister’s inn, Selene finds something she never had in her father’s house: people who want her for who she is.
But the visions don’t stop. And Selene knows something Thorne doesn’t. Long before they met, she saw his face, a man with steady brown eyes holding a sword that seemed to be listening.
In the east, the Flame Queen has risen again, a sorceress who burns armies where they stand and answers every offer of peace with fire. The king needs the one weapon he has never had: someone who can see where she will strike next. Word of a new Prophetess is already spreading through the hills, and the people hunting her are getting closer.
When the king’s rider arrives at Briarford, Selene must choose. She can run, or she can stand. Thorne must decide whether to swear the oldest oath there is: his life for her protection, his strength for her weakness.
Some oaths are only words. This one forged a blade.
Sight of Flame is an adult fantasy romance with:
- A slow-burn, found-family romance between a sorceress who sees too much and the man who refuses to be afraid of her
- A cozy village that rallies around its own, and a royal court at war
- A grounded, battle-weary hero who has already lost one future and won’t lose another
- A magic system built on thirteen ancient aspects and the legendary Blade of Fate
- An earned, emotional happily-ever-after
- Open-door love scenes, so this one is for adult readers
A complete, standalone story. Sight of Flame is Book One of the Blade of Fate series. The books share a world and can be read in any order, with no cliffhangers and no waiting years for an ending.
