We are delighted to host the release party for Vallejo author Andrew Meritt's dark fantasy debut, "Ballad of the Blade," on Sunday, October 26th at 4pm! Andrew will be reading and signing "Ballad," which early reviewers are calling "enthralling," "a rollercoaster," and even comparing to George R.R. Martin, so this is your chance to meet Andrew and say you knew him when!
A dark and gritty epic with a dash of horror and a dollop of humor, fantasy fans will get hooked into this first book of the Serenade in Smoke series. A promising initiate struggles to conform in an organization that wants to exterminate the very magic running in his blood. A hired assassin fights to stay one step ahead of shadows, betrayals, and past mistakes. A musician in over his head tries desperately to trade debt from one group of killers to another. A slave of blood and sand claws his way toward freedom, one corpse at a time. An irreverent Justiseer struggles with a particularly obstinate severed head. A man wakes with no memory, only to discover a community with problems far greater than his amnesia.
Each of them is forced to question if magic truly is dead and wonder... Should it be?
You can find out by coming on October 26th! See you then!
