Sharp Steel

Winner of the 2018 Darrell Award!

He was exiled into a world of monsters, evil wizards, and mad gods…and they’d be well advised to stay out of his way!

What 21-year-old swordsman would choose the cloistered life of a priest over one of sharp steel and high adventure? Not Alden Havenwulf. As Prince of Corland, the mightiest kingdom on Reven, his world is driven by ancient traditions and rigid obligations.

Instead of the twisted politics of the Royal Court, though, Alden chooses exile, wandering the world in search of enough riches to buy his own estate. Along with his giant friend Dexter—and Dexter’s enormous axe—the Corlandishman leaves a wake of dead wizards, broken monsters, and angry gods.

If you love Robert E. Howard’s original Conan stories, Michael J. Sullivan, or Michael-Scott Earle, you’ll love a book that combines all of their best traits in fast-paced, captivating, classic sword and sorcery tales. It’s a tale to remind you of why you loved fantasy in the first place!
