The 19th Bladesman by S.J. Hartland

His duty is to die young, but fate has something far more lethal in mind

If Kaell breaks, the kingdom breaks with him. And prophecy says the 19th Bladesman will break …

The Bonded Warrior …

Kill. Die young. That’s what a swordsman bonded to the ancient gods does. Without expecting praise from the man who trained him to survive this centuries-old, malignant war against the inhuman followers of an invincible lord. But Kaell wants more. More of Val Arques’ attention, his approval. Just more.

The broken …

Val Arques is entrusted not only with Kaell’s life but with the truth that will destroy him.
He cannot afford to care about the young warrior. For love means loss. And Val Arques has a shameful secret …

Duty and love collide in this epic fantasy about dark plots, dark magic and characters with even darker secrets.
