The Blade of Vengeance
In the golden fields of Brighthollow, a boy was born with the strength of a warrior and the soul of a storm.
By the age of ten, he had slain monsters. By eleven, he had tasted unimaginable loss. When King Darius Valdris III visits his peaceful village, the boy’s life is shattered—his family slaughtered without cause, his home burned to ash. Left with nothing but his sword and a searing desire for vengeance, he swears an unbreakable oath: the king will pay.
To strike down a monarch, the boy must rise through the ranks of the realm’s most prestigious military academy—Arkanhold—where nobles, prodigies, and power-hungry elites train to become the next generation of knights, battlemages, and warlords. But as a commoner with no title, no connections, and no mercy in his heart, his path will be anything but easy.
To succeed, he must outfight the noble-born, outwit the scholars, and outlast the darkness that festers within him. Friendships will be tested. Enemies will be made. And in the shadows of war, he will learn that strength alone is not enough—that to destroy a kingdom, one must be willing to lose everything, even oneself.
Blade of Vengeance is a coming-of-age dark fantasy about ambition, grief, and the thin line between justice and revenge.
