Fantasy

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.
