Ronan is a 19-year old man training to become a Nightblade, a magical monster hunter that kills the things that go bump in the night. The problem is, Ronan suffers from an ancient curse that prevents him from accessing his magic, no matter how hard he trains or pushes his limits. 

But that all changes one day when his temple is attacked by a new dark force, one so vicious and terrifying that not even the most powerful spellcasters and Nightblades are able to fend it off. 

And when this monstrous army leaves behind a fragment of metal that Ronan puts into a sword, Ronan finds that his magic is unlocked through the power of the Black Hellblade. 

Now, Ronan must discover what exactly a good man is to do with evil magic. 

Will the gorgeously stunning Master Nightblade Maritza be enough to set Ronan on the right course? Or will the forces of evil and his curse get the best of him? 

And when the dark army that gave him the extraordinary magic returns, will Ronan be ready to defeat it? 

The Black Hellblade is created by Samuel Rust, an eGlobal Creative Publishing signed author.
Join Ronan on his harrowing quest for strength through a brutal, cold world in this medieval, fantasy, level-up adventure.

The Black Hellblade

Habbot stood on the edge of the roof, chewing a lit cigar between his few remaining teeth. 


“Ay, gents, drop the load!” he shouted with a fierce wave of his hand. 


From every roof they could, townsfolk of Augustate slums carried great big blankets, aprons, and shirts full of baking flour. 


“What are they planning?” Ike asked, watching the townspeople swing their bundles of flour into the air. Soon, the huge amounts of flour hung in the air like dust. The running guards paused, coughing and hacking and swatting at the air as flour filled their lungs and blocked their sights. 


Clove handed over a traveling bag to Ike, and the both of them followed Ronan and Maritza as they ran for the gate at the edge of town. The group of four Nightblades pumped their hands back and forth as each of them sprinted beside the other. 


In the distance and back on the rooftops, Habbot called out to the once shoeless girl and said, “Alright lass, give it here!”
