A father murdered.

A killer in the guise of a friend.

And the choice…that led him into darkness.

Before his name was uttered only in a fearful whisper, Greth was at first a simple adventurer: an exile that enjoyed spending his days giving questionable romantic advice to his poor traveling companion, Alastar. But Greth is soon summoned home to the undercity of Brennius, a world which has remained locked behind an iron gate for over a hundred years, its cannons and pikemen ever poised to destroy any Brederick daring to breach it.

And there, Greth is offered one chance to regain his standing as a subject of Brennius' king. The choice, on the surface, is simple enough: avenge his father; kill a Brederick prisoner. But Greth soon learns that Brederin's 'prisoner' is none other than Gale Brederick, a man whose decency once showed Greth another way forward for their two peoples.

…A way, perhaps, to put an end to Brennius and Brederin's hundred year war.

Does Greth, then, execute his childhood friend? Or should he leave his father's apparent murderer to rot in a gray cell beneath the earth? A dark epic fantasy novel filled with murder, magic, and riveting swordplay, Soren's Blade is a tale about monsters—monsters that take the forms of men—and of how even the noblest of hearts can be seduced into darkness…

**This book contains mild profanity, intense scenes of battle, and lots of questionable ideas. (It's set in a medieval-like world.)
