    Blood Blade Series

    By J.M. Ney-Grimm

    About this series

    When a king begs a dread boon, dare she refuse him?

     

    Remeya—fosterling and maid-in-waiting to the king's sister—worships the old and forbidden horned god alongside the princess.
     

    Despite the centuries-old taboo, a few believers still perform the rites in secret. And the king quietly tolerates their heresy until Remeya retrieves a cursed sword from its watery grave and bestows it upon him.

     

    As the king's mind unravels into violence, no one near him remains safe, not even his best beloved. Especially not his best beloved.

     

    Fearing for all their lives, Remeya frantically seeks a means of curbing the king's wrath. Appeals to religious authority and personal displays of public piety prove fruitless, while leaving salvation to her god delivers no sign that he will act.

     

    Unless Remeya learns to engage more deeply with her beliefs—beyond obedience, beyond devotion, and into surrender—the princess will lose her head and Remeya her soul.

     

    Hunting Wild is the evocative second tale in the Blood Blade fantasy series. If you enjoy vivid characters, exotic worlds, and intensifying suspense, you'll love this engrossing coming-of-age story by J.M. Ney-Grimm in which a teen girl grapples with how to connect with her god.

    EXCERPT FROM HUNTING WILD

    The pebbles of the underground stream bed dug into the soles of her feet, and the chill of the shallow water numbed her toes.

    The rough surface of the ceiling sloped down, scraping her back, forcing her to bend, to crouch, to curl enough that she caught her balance with her hands in the wet.

    The light faded swiftly. Had she gone far enough?

    She paused, eyes adjusting.

    The glimmering ripples of the spring's source cast dim flickers against the rocks pressing her down.

      Once protected. Once beloved. Until a blood blade brutalizes his sire...   Young Caelan relishes the carefree days and friendships of boyhood despite his palsied limbs. He loves his aunt, the Lady Agace, who mothered him from infancy, and trusts his father, Lord Jekis, ruler of Castle Balazoron and proud to name Caelan as his heir.   But when a cursed sword enters his father's possession, eroding Lord Jekis' sanity and prompting him to evil, Caelan's world falls apart.   Caelan plots to get the weapon away from his father, hoping that might restore him to reason and kindness. But...what will Caelan do with the blade, if he succeeds? Hide it? Send it elsewhere? Break it somehow?   As Lord Jekis' madness escalates, he grows ever more angry, clashing with his sister until a complete breach divides the two.   When Lord Jekis decrees a horrific punishment for Lady Agace, Caelan must learn what it really means to leave childhood behind. If he fails, the only mother he's ever known will die.   Blood Falchion is the riveting first tale in the Blood Blade fantasy series. If you enjoy high stakes, intensity, and the dark influence a cursed sword exerts over its wielder, you'll love J.M. Ney-Grimm's story of a once-beloved son rising to heroism in the shadow of his father's eclipse.   Buy Blood Falchion to wrest trust from betrayal today!     About the Author   J.M.
