THE 19TH BLADESMAN

His duty is to die young, but fate has something far more lethal in mind.

If Kaell breaks, the kingdom breaks with him. And prophecy says the 19th Bladesman will break...

The Bonded Warrior…

Kill. Die young. That’s what a swordsman bonded to the ancient gods does. But Kaell wants more.

The broken…

Val Arques is a bladesman of formidable power entrusted not only with Kaell’s life but with the truth that will destroy him.

He cannot afford to care about the young warrior. For love means loss. And Val Arques has a shameful secret...

A kingdom on the edge of chaos…

As a vengeful god escapes his ancient prison and draws Kaell into his web of deception, even Val Arques can’t protect him from the dark prophecy awaiting him. Because you can’t flee fate unless you’re willing to do the unthinkable.

THE LAST SEER KING

It’s the secrets we hide from ourselves that give others power…

A rich tapestry of dark magic, obsession, dangerous prophecy, and the forgiveness found through friendship.

An ancient king returns...

For centuries, Roaran sought redemption. Now he can vanquish a tyrant and save a realm in chaos. But only if he cuts his last ties to humanity. Only if he returns to the one place that he swore he’d never dare go again…

A prophecy unfolds...

As for Kaell… fate isn’t quite done with him yet.

For the darkness taking over the kingdom can’t be defeated by the sword, only

THE SWORD BROTHERHOOD

ONLY THE BROKEN CAN LEAD THE DEAD…

The compelling third book in the Shadow Sword series viciously ramps up the stakes in a darkly psychological, brutal, and heartbreaking story of jealousy, treachery, and courage in the face of loss.

The Seer King is helpless

Betrayed by the man who should have been his fiercest ally, Roaran is Archanin’s prisoner. The fallen god shackles his prize in a desolate castle hidden by magic. But there’s something dangerous his captor wants from Roaran, and if he breaks, the dark legacy of his fall will change the fate of kingdoms.

Save him or kill him

As city after city is seduced by Archanin, Dannon struggles to hold the Sword Brotherhood of ancient warriors together. He wants to save Roaran. But if he can’t, he’ll have to kill him.

From S.J. Hartland comes the breathtaking first three novels in the Shadow Sword series, including the award-winning The 19th Bladesman and The Last Seer King.
