Way of the Sword

Fugitive Fiction, 2016

Forging your own destiny burns like fire and tastes like blood. Before Billy Cole can save the realm, he must first save himself. Those champions of folklore, The Colors Three, have faded over time. Trevor the Red is a tavern keeper now. Gregor the Golden is dead. And Ian the Black is a drunk. He is also Billy's father. Being the son of a legend is hard. So is dragging that same legend home every night. Billy is sure there's more to life than parenting his pop, black smithing, and mending fences. He just needs a decent sword and freedom enough from his father's shadow to prove it. When undying legions besiege their homeland, he gets his chance. He has his father's strength, his mentor's steel, and the heart of a warrior-poet. But is it enough to turn the son of a broken hero into legendary adventurer Wil Thunderstrike? The way of the sword is double-edged. The prize is honor. But the price is death. A gritty coming-of-age epic that cuts like sword and sorcery and lingers like your first kiss. Whether you're a young adult dreaming of your destiny or a longtime fantasy fan yearning for that midlife crisis, this book is for you! Previously known throughout the realm as the novel Tarnish. ????? "What's amazing about this book is that it is its own story. It's not some spin off, take off, bull$#!% twisting of the same young adult themes." -- Rattle the Stars "It's less a coming-of-age tale and more a story of self-discovery." -- Beauty in Ruins "That's why I like this book... [Billy's] going to be a hero one day. It's just going to take a couple more black eyes and a night in the Fellwater drunk tank to get there." -- Forever Young Adult "The strength of Tarnish is Billy's coming-of-age narrative, his quest to develop his own, innate heroism, and his struggle to reconcile illustrious legends with harsher truths." -- Tales of the Talisman Magazine "Fantasy? Sword fights? Monsters? Destiny? Gimme, Gimme!" -- The Book Heap
