Dark Blade Forged (The Dark Blade Trilogy Book 1)

A noble escapes his past—but finds darkness deeper than he ever knew.

Dan joins the Watch Guard to fight injustice. When human trafficking and a mysterious blade surface, he'll need faith, friendship, and unbreakable steel to resist vengeance.

Dan Torren flees his corrupt noble heritage to join the Watch Guard—seeking justice, not vengeance. But when he uncovers a brutal human-trafficking conspiracy run by the Red Hand, the line between justice and revenge blurs. Drawn to a legendary shadow blade, Dan must confront political intrigue, face his own dark impulses, and decide what kind of justice he’s truly fighting for. With allies—Alex the exiled prince and Farrald the steadfast Shepherd—by his side, they'll risk everything to protect Septily from a rising darkness.

A sweeping, character-driven Christian fantasy filled with clean swordplay, unflinching moral choices, and faith tested in the crucible of real-world evil—human trafficking and personal sacrifice included.

Trust Your Blade. Guard Your Heart. Defy the Darkness.

Perfect for fans of Patrick W. Carr’s The Staff and the Sword, R.J. Larson’s The Book of the Infinite, and Christopher Hopper’s White Lion Chronicles—readers who crave high-stakes adventure, spiritual depth, and swords forged in both shadow and faith.
