Morvelving (The Mourning Sword Book One)

By C J Switzer

Enter the captivating fantasy world of Erviad and begin a journey of family, magic, and cruel Fates.

'They see you, hold your immortal thread, but hers. Her short mortal ribbon warms their timeless hands. The Fates cackle with glee at the sorrow and doom that awaits upon her path'

Morvelving, an exile trapped by the same vices that led to his son's death, is ready to end it all. Until he meets the orphan, Nippiktua, a mute and deaf child, marked by the Fates and with a knack for mischief. Though guilt ridden, Morvelving will not allow himself to abandon her to her treacherous destiny, and so vows to find her a safe and hidden home.

A wayward and perilous journey begins. Along their path, the two encounter a mystical Stag, escape warmongering centaurs, dispute with an obstinate prince, and flee from a dragon's zealots.

But when the zealots capture Nippiktua as a sacrifice to the dragon's whim, Morvelving must allay his fears and race to save the child from the strings of the Fates in the shadow of the tyrannical dragon.

Morvelving is an epic fantasy perfect for fans of the Blacktongue Thief, the Shadow of What Was Lost, and Witch King.

"This is an impressive novel and one for fans of found-family, epic fantasy and wanting to have their heartstrings pulled." -- Wulver's Library Review
