Beyond the Blade

By Elimelec Gonzalez-Roman

A magical blade. A lost queen. A world on the brink of war.

Thirteen-year-old Zackary Fierras never expected his summer to involve talking lions, a sarcastic phoenix, and a sword that pulses with living magic. But when he and his mysterious friend Ashe arrive at the hidden city of Vaelnavor, everything changes. Zack is conscripted into the city's guard, Ashe is exiled, and the fate of their world teeters on the edge of chaos.

As war looms, Zack must train for battle, navigate rivalries, and survive the legendary Prism Trials-where magic, wit, and courage are tested to their limits. Meanwhile, Ashe's journey of exile leads her deep into enchanted forests and ancient secrets, where she'll confront the truth of her origins and the dark forces threatening to consume everything she loves.

With a cast of unforgettable characters-fierce guardians, cunning fairies, and villains who blur the line between friend and foe-Beyond the Blade is a whirlwind adventure brimming with heart, humor, and high-stakes magic. Perfect for fans of Percy Jackson, Keeper of the Lost Cities, and The School for Good and Evil, this epic fantasy will sweep you into a world where every choice matters, and even the smallest spark can ignite a revolution.

Unlock the magic. Face the shadows. Discover what lies beyond the blade.
