About this ebook

Sir Arius is First Blade, leader of the King's elite Bladewielders. After surviving war in the north, he returns home hoping to oversee a long peace. But an attempt on the King's life seems to implicate a longtime rival nation with whom they hold a tenuous truce. Sir Arius knows they are not to blame, but as anti-foreign sentiment threatens to tear his country apart from within, he soon uncovers a conspiracy that forces him to choose between his duty and forbidden love.

 

Nicholas is the son of the royal tailor, spending his days pretending to be one of the Bladewielders of legend, saving nations and damsels in distress. Until the night one of his friends is brutally murdered by men in dark hoods. Ever the curious boy, Nicholas will learn what it means to be brave.

 

Victor receives an invitation from his old friend King Eric to leave his teaching at the University to mentor the Prince. Part of an ancient secret society, Victor is pressured to place himself in the First Blade's confidence. He soon finds himself at odds between those who seek to protect the nation and those who wish to destroy it.


Described as Antoine Fuqua's King Arthur meets the Old West, First Blade is an epic tale of adventure and heroism, love and duty, loyalty and betrayal, in a world not unlike our own.

Jim Perry

Jim Perry's first published works were two novellas for Grail Quest Books, "Firefight at Overwatch Command" and "The Titan Deception," titles based on characters and situations from the WARS Trading Card Game once published by Decipher, Inc. He is currently working on many different projects and plans to launch his publishing endeavors in 2019. Under the moniker Indiana Jim, he has hosted The Adventures of Indiana Jim since 2006 (though under a few different show names). He is an amateur voice actor, lending his voice to many different volunteer productions across the internet, and has produced two full-cast audio dramas. In 2009, his fan production Star Wars - Codename: Starkeeper was a finalist for a Parsec award at Dragon*Con in Atlanta, Georgia. It was also honored with six peer awards by the fan website Star Wars Fanworks (starwarsfanworks.com). He plays several different musical instruments, and in the past he has been a stage actor, singer, arranger, conductor and band leader. He makes his home in Southern Indiana with his wife and three children.
