Two Blades, One Swordsman

October 5, 2026

Dhaelen carries two swords, and they couldn't be less alike. On his right hip hangs a plain steel sword, old and unremarkable, the kind any smith in any market town could have made. On his back, drawn from the left, rides Ignivar, a blade made of dragon bone.

He has grey-blue eyes. That's all I'll say about his face.

So here's a question for readers: which one do you think he reaches for first?

Whispers of the Wyrm, Book One of The Bard and the Blade Saga.
