In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I read Chapters 26-27 from Dark Blade Forged, the first novel in the Dark Blade Trilogy.

These chapters shift into the perspectives of two powerful secondary characters: Theran, a royal sword guard uncovering dangerous secrets alongside Lady Leandra, and Stelia, an enslaved mercenary risking everything to help captives escape the brutal Drinaii.

As tension builds across the kingdom, loyalties are tested and acts of courage begin to shape the fate of Aramatir.

I also share an update on the Dark Blade Trilogy Kickstarter, which has already reached full funding!
