Asleep for eons, the Black Blade has been hidden away as its curse turns men into monsters. Sheba, a daughter of the strange god-like creatures called Fennari, who forged the ancient Swords of Power is the only one who knows where it is. When a vicious king, who enjoys conquering, threatens to make her fulfill an old marriage contract made when they were very young, she balks. The two set about on a dangerous cat and mouse game. He draws ever nearer with an enormous army and she plots, schemes and manipulates to protect her heritage, the Sphere of the Fennari and her kingdom. When her only beloved sister is taken she will stop at nothing to save her and their kingdom. With an old friend whom she shares a deep bond, she awakens the Black Blade. As they travel to rescue her sister, the Black Blade takes control of the swordsman chosen to wield it and unleashes hell. The only thing standing between the utter annihilation of every living soul is Sheba and the sphere.About the Author: Born in Washington state and raised in a small town in Alaska, I spent many years playing in the woods with my sister and riding horses. Always an avid reader of romance, sci-fi and fantasy, at fourteen I discovered the magical world of writing. I wrote my first play at seventeen which I later turned into a full length fantasy novel. Fantasy has always been my preferred genre, for within its unlimited boundaries you can do and imagine anything. Over the years I have taken on different roles, two of my favorites; wife and mother. I have four lovely children, all grown except one and a darling grandson. I have tried my hand at many things, barrel racing in rodeos, fishing on a commercial salmon boat, massage therapist, and avid spiritualist. Through it all my greatest dream has always been to be a published author and thanks to modern technology those dreams can be realized.
