We do not fear the flame, though it
burns us, We do not fear the fire, though it consumes
us, And we do not fear its light, Though it
reveals the darkness of our souls, For therein lies
our power. -- Blood Oath of the Iron Elves First
in a stunning debut series, A Darkness Forged in
Fire introduces an unforgiving world of musket and
cannon...bow and arrow...magic, diplomacy, and oaths --
each wielding terrible power in an Empire teetering on the
brink of war. In this world, Konowa Swift Dragon, former
commander of the Empire's elite Iron Elves, is looked upon
as anything but ordinary. He's murdered a Viceroy, been
court-martialed, seen his beloved regiment disbanded, and
finally been banished in disgrace to the one place he
despises the most -- the forest. Now, all he wants is to
be left alone with his misery...but for Konowa, nothing is
ever that simple. The mysterious and alluring Visyna
Tekoy, the highborn daughter of an elfkynan governor,
seeks him out in the dangerous wild with a royal decree
that he resume his commission as an officer in Her
Majesty's Imperial Army, effective immediately. For in
the east, a falling Red Star heralds the return of a magic
long vanished from the earth. Rebellion grows within the
Empire as a frantic race to reach the Star unfolds. It is
a chance for Konowa to redeem himself -- even if the
entire affair appears doomed to be a suicide
mission...and that the soldiers recruited for the task
are not at all what he expects. And worse, his key
adversary in the perilous race for the Star is the dreaded
Shadow Monarch -- a legendary elf-witch whose machinations
for absolute domination spread deeper than Konowa could
ever imagine....
