More of Val Arques' attention, his approval. Just more.

The broken ...
Val Arques is a bladesman of formidable power entrusted not only with Kaell's life but with the truth that will destroy him. Banished to a grim outpost of this doomed kingdom of sorcery, poetry and treachery, he cannot afford to care about the young warrior. For love means loss. And Val Arques has a shameful secret ...

The 19th Bladesman is a tremendous work of fantasy and sorcery. Set in a world where numerous forces vie for power, among them kings, lords, priestesses, ghouls, gods, and swordsmen. Beyond the castle intrigue are ancient powers moving pieces around like pawns on a chessboard, ancient grudges, and bloodlines. Bonds of loyalty and fealty are tested. Loyalty to kings, loyalty to myths, loyalty to family. Great feats of swordplay are mixed with seductions of princes and princesses. Dont expect toThis had such a strong start. The story was full of the fun tropey stuff I love- prophecies, intrigue plots and some fun characters.Kaell bonded warrior to the God Khir (its said hell die young to save the people) when we first meet Kaell, he is just a plucky kid and pretty adorable.

This is a fantastic fantasy book with sorcery, magic, and a certain darkness. The characters are deep and sometimes hard to relate to, but perhaps that is part of the story building process here. It's hard to know who is a bad guy vs. who is a good character. They are all intriguing however. The names are great as well, Vraymorg, Rozzen, Kaell, among

The first book in the Shadow Sword series, this story is all about the dilemma when duty and love collide and force an impossible choice.
