A Blade Forged For Peace — Nick Davis

A dark future. A dying world.And only the mad to save it.Cia is on the verge of death from drawing on the Deep, and Wes can do nothing but watch. A new darkness festers in his mind as their pursuers close in. Desperate and isolated, Wes will do whatever it takes to keep Cia safe. To keep the very future of humanity safe.Bleeding out in the woods isn't what Oben had in mind when he left the others. No, he's in search of something worth living for, leaving his past of living by the blade behind for good. But The Red is back, and the truth is, you simply can't escape yourself.Bard and enemy of nearly all of Kesan, Simone Roux, risks the unforgiving road north to get the freedom she's always wanted. But blizzards, starvation, and rough men with pointy sticks aren't often persuaded by well-told poems. Oh well, nothing worth taking ever comes cheap, after all.
