Description: [edit] [history]

Six years after a mass disaster leaves him an orphan, Alistair Adams, a teenage boy cursed with an enchantment to resonate with the shades of old relics — allowing him to wield their skills, knowledge, and experience as if they were his — uses his otherworldly talent to become a squire of Bravehearth School of Knighthood so that he might follow in his late father's footsteps and reclaim his family's honor.

Bravehearth's the perfect place for Alistair to study sword dances, sin hunting, artificing, modern jousting, and other chivalric disciplines that should help him achieve his goals, assuming no one figures out the secret of his cursed blood and brands him a heretic, or worse — an abomination.

If hiding the Curse of Resonance from competitive classmates and perceptive instructors wasn't challenging enough, Alistair also has to contend with the dark machinations of apostate knights, malicious witches, and the Matron's curse of sins that give form to the dark deeds and depraved thoughts of mankind.

Thus begins a chivalrous tale of wisdom and valor, strength and honor! Welcome to Bravehearth, Ali—hope you survive the experience!

---

Ghost in the Blade is a progression fantasy that weaves familiar elements of chivalrous deeds into its framework; offering a modern twist to timeless tales of knights, monsters, and unshakable faith.

** This isn't a slow-burn story, but it does take its time in establishing the world, the characters, and the many issues they have to contend with.

** Release schedule 1 chapter a day for now. 4 chapters a week once I've burned through my stockpile.

** Temporary cover created with Midjourney AI
