About the Book<\/div>\r\n\t
\r\n\t\t
\r\n\t\t\tOnly those who rise to their calling discover why they were chosen.<\/strong>\r\n\r\nA thousand years ago, an order of twelve magic swords kept the world at peace. Each sword had a personality, a mind, and a memory. Through the bonds they shared with their bearers, the wisdom and skill of generations was preserved.\r\n\r\nBut the swords became corrupted. They turned on each other, shattering the order and plunging the world into war. The twelfth sword went into hiding until the day of prophecy, when the last sword bearer would free the world of men.\r\n\r\nThat day has come, and the sword bearer of prophecy is a mere tavern girl.\r\n\r\nTamuna Leladze never sought for this honor. Raised by her aunt Sopiko, her only knowledge of foreign lands came from the travelers who passed through her aunt’s tavern. She always dreamed of adventure, but never thought she would answer its call.\r\n\r\nBut when a wandering knight arrives at the end of the harvest season, all that begins to change. The old knight is the keeper of the sword Imeris, who has chosen her in the eleventh hour. For far to the north, a terrible empire has unleashed a reign of blood, fire, and steel. Led by an evil brotherhood more ancient than the sword itself, their darkness will soon sweep the land.\r\n\r\nAs events carry Tamuna far from her village home, she cannot help but wonder if the sword has made a mistake.\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/a>\r\n

In the Wake of Zedekiah Wight<\/h1>\r\n\t\t
\"In<\/div>\t\t
\r\n\t\t\t

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil!<\/h2>\t\t\t
\r\n\t

When Captain Victor Andrecek and his crew of down-and-out smugglers respond to a deep space distress call, what they find shocks them to their very core. The victim is dead, his EVA suit nailed to a cross and launched on the head of a repurposed missile, with the words of an ancient scripture burned on a plaque at his feet. And he is not the only one.<\/p>\n

The madman behind the murders is a privateer known as Zedekiah Wight, and the reward on his head is more than enough to tempt Andrecek and his struggling crew. With it, they can finally get back on their feet again\u2014not to mention, rid the galaxy of a very dangerous man.<\/p>\n

But Andrecek can't help but wonder: what was Zedekiah's reason for crucifying those men? With the showdown rapidly approaching, the answer might make the difference between being in the right, or being dead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\r\n
