Experience the immersive action of Lilith Saintcrow’s A Flame in the North but the Christian adventure and court intrigue of Illusion’s Reign in this collection of family friendly books that includes a dash of women’s fiction and military fantasy. Falcon Dagger is a fantasy adventure for adults as well as a clean and wholesome addition to any teen’s list of good fantasy novels and coming of age fiction where hope is a light in the night.

Familiar human frailties, a lie, betrayal, and oath-breaking.

Weakness blooms in the betrayal of a Brother’s hope. Evil waxes by sinuous, deadly, hidden ways to bring about a kingdom’s fall. Until one monk rises up to oppose treachery in his own heart and uncovers the first threads of long-laid plots and whispers of a coming king.

Kyrin bears the heir of House Cieri and the hope of Britannia. A thief steals the Damascus sword from the very hall of Cierheld. Berd, first armsman of Cieri, must recover the sword and reveal the rat in the walls. Kyrin’s companion, Celine, vows to find the lost sword first, for she is as strong as any man and no orphan to be pitied.

But Thain Mornoth plots to take the king’s seat. He accuses Berd and Cierheld of terrible crimes, entangling them in webs of deceit and treachery and the regent’s doubt. The insidious hand behind Thain will bring a great reset to the land that will end in fire.

Can Berd and Celine break free of the broken oaths around them in time to protect the prince, prove their oaths, and lead the people of Britannia in a last battle? While the coils of danger tighten around Cierheld, lady Myrna, forced by long illness to stay behind, joins forces with an old healer to defend hope and ward Britannia.

Against a backdrop of old enemies and new alliances the coming king remains hidden. One heir must survive. One must be protected. Or all will end in ash.

For any land is only as good as its king.
