For nearly six years, Aral believed himself to be the only
survivor when his guild was destroyed. Now, his former
fiancée returns begging for his help in rescuing her new
love and their students from the Hand of Heaven.
They are both nearly killed at their first encounter and
life only becomes more dangerous as they pursue their goals.
As they search for information about where everyone is being
held, Aral will learn ever more about treachery and his
beliefs and will to survive will be tested.
CROSSED BLADE is hard to summarize because there is so much
that
unfolds during the story, I would hate to give too much
away. Kelly McCullough has once again written a magnificent
story which deals with love, betrayal and redemption.
Aral's entire being is shaken as he realizes that the events
that shook his world were orchestrated by a person he
trusted most in this world. Re-discovering his inner
strength will force him into actions that could not be
predicted.
For six years, former temple assassin Aral Kingslayer has
been living as a jack of the shadow trades, picking up odd
jobs on the wrong side of the law. But the past is never
dead, and Aral’s has finally caught up to him in the
beautiful, dangerous form of Jax Seldansbane—a fellow Blade
and Aral’s onetime fiancée.
Jax claims that the forces that destroyed everything Aral
once held dear are on the move again, and she needs his help
to stop them. But Aral has a new life now, with a fresh
identity and new responsibilities. And while he isn’t keen
on letting the past back in, the former assassin soon finds
himself involved in a war that will leave him with no way
out and no idea who to trust…
