THE KING'S BLIND SWORD

By Mikael Burke and Deon Groenewald

Some men are trusted with the end of the world and never told.

Aldric was the king's most trusted sword, the man they sent when the matter required someone who did not ask questions, because his loyalty made questions unnecessary. He was proud of that. He would spend the rest of his life learning what that pride had cost.

The sealed orders he carried north ended the world he served. Now, years later, a broken man walks into a quiet corner of the highlands wanting nothing but silence. What he finds instead is a queen who cannot read, a hound that seems to know more than men do, and one last chance to be seen for who he truly is, and not for what he was used for.

The King's Blind Sword is a story about loyalty turned into a weapon, and the long road back from being the blade in another man's hand. It is high fantasy in the Gaelic-Scots highland tradition: low on spectacle, deep on character, with villains who believe with all their hearts that they are saving the world.

If you love sweeping, character-driven sagas, morally complex enemies, and hard-won redemption in the vein of Robin Hobb, Guy Gavriel Kay, and Bernard Cornwell, the saga begins here.
