Heim may haunt their dreams. But Amanda owns their nightmares.
Coveland Nocht is a Stoneshaper, a father, and a man trying desperately to hold his strange new family together. But as the moon Elystria reshapes the laws of magic and science, even Cove's hard-won sanctuary begins to crack.
His daughters-traumatized, gifted, and burning with power-stand on the edge of something vast. His wife Keeva can melt stone and stand against gods. And somewhere beyond the forests, Amanda Ceallach-the Necromancer-tightens her grip on the minds, bodies, and memories of the dead.
With no army, no electricity, and no backup but his own guilt and genius, Cove must outthink a world that's being rewritten beneath his feet.
The Bard and The Blade is a genre-bending tale of family, rebellion, and metaphysical warfare-where love may save the world, but only if it can survive it first.
★ Perfect for fans of found family, complex villains, magical science, and emotionally rich sci-fi/fantasy.
★ Book Two of the Azure Heroes series. Seven books planned. Snark and heartbreak included.
