The Breaking of the Thirteen: Blood & Shadow (Part One)

By Sophie Louise Summers

"It's not safe, this world. Not anymore. Plans and schemes long devised unfurl. An evil game is afoot, and the players cast shadows that the pieces cannot be rid of," she warned. "We are already too far in this game to stop playing now."

Dive into the bewitching land of Wesa in the first instalment of an epic dark fantasy series, The Breaking of the Thirteen. In part one of Blood & Shadow, we follow the enigmatic assassin, Ael, as she embarks on a perilous but lucrative quest shrouded in mystery. Her mission: retrieve a powerful artefact from the uncharted, shadowy lands to the west of Wesa. But she is not alone. She must gather a band of skilled recruits to aid her on this treacherous journey. Unbeknownst to her, another individual has been assigned the same quest, driven by motivations that clash with Ael's.

Blood & Shadow is not just a story of dark intrigue and relentless adventure; it is the introduction to an epic saga in which the machinations of demons unfold, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Set against the backdrop of a land recovering from invasion and civil war, where dark creatures lurk in plain sight, Ael's path is fraught with danger and deception. Her journey will reveal secrets that could alter the very fabric of reality.
