"With a death sentence hanging over his head, Aral is drawn into strange events."

Fresh Fiction Review

Broken Blade
Kelly McCullough

Reviewed by Leanne Davis

Fantasy

One of the fabled Blades of Namara, Aral was an assassin dispensing justice as decreed by the goddess. Aral made a name for himself when he killed the evil King who had managed to evade much more experienced Blades. While Aral was on a mission, the Blades were betrayed. He returns to find the goddess and her temple have been destroyed. He is one of the few Blades who escaped the destruction but a death sentence hangs over his head.

Making just enough of a living as a shadow jack to keep himself in quality liquor, Aral is hired to deliver a message. What he discovers in attempting to finish the job will draw him into a conspiracy that must be exposed. Aral and his shadow, Triss, will find themselves in great danger. Even though Aral no longer works for the goddess, he has not lost his drive to serve justice.

Kelly McCullough builds a fascinating world with some intriguing characters to keep a reader's interest. BROKEN BLADE is a compelling read that was hard to put down. The reader will find themselves drawn to Aral. Mr. McCullough has the ability to make the even his dastardly characters sympathetic. It will be fascinating to see where the next book leads us.

Until a mysterious woman hires him to deliver a secret message-one that can either redeem him or doom him.
