With A Tale of Blades & Blood, the world of Avalion takes shape in the form of an all too familiar world. Filled with morals either clear or grey, war is inevitable while peace never lasts. Fifteen centuries of watchful peace and subtle tension have finally boiled, and the conflict rises once more, now filled with more bloodshed than ever before.

Beyond the mountains of the Nortenhein, the Weslands arm themselves to take back their lands and bring forth to the south and the east A Bloody Winter. To the east, over hills and through forests of old and past the waters of the Red River, The East Plains stand tall with the Spire as its center, ready to fulfill their Dream of Vengeance. Deep in the south where the cities stand and to the west where the walls never crumble, steel meets steel as brother fights brother in A Dance of Fire and Swords.

Witness the adventures of Orevian Ballister, Norien Ravenhan, Forien Strix, and Loran Aelond as they face battles of wits, blades, honor, glory, and tragedy in a story that shall never be forgotten:
A Tale of Blades & Blood.

A Tale of Blades & Blood

Cheers to Leo Allen Bautista, who inspired me to make this novel series in the first place. Without him, I never would have had the motivation to write anything at all.

Special thanks to my friends, Lexus and Jaebriel, who gave my imaginative ideas a reality check and helped shape the plot of the first volume and the other ones to come.

Lastly, a really special thank you to my mother, who supported me throughout my writing journey. Without her, the volumes and other novel series never would have been finished- including this one!

The first volume is dedicated to my seventh-grade English professor, Sir Heherson "Ethon" Tolentino, who got me started in writing with our short story project. Without him, I never would have known how to write- or even what to write.

So, thank you, Sir Ethon, for gifting me with the knowledge on writing and getting me kick-started into the writing and reading hobby.

The second volume coming in the future is dedicated to my eighth-grade Social Science professor, Sir Joseph Philip Addauan, who got me interested in the fantasy genre in the first place along with the historical fiction style of writing. Without that project you introduced, I don't think this book would have had all that much logic and realism in the first place.

The third and probably final volume coming in the future is dedicated to my best-est of best friends, Leo Allen Bautista, who kick-started this entire series in the first place by suggesting I write a short story... I don't know, however, how the hell it managed to get this long. Special thanks to him also for volunteering to edit the first volume! Now, I just need to find a way to get him to edit the other two hahaha!
