The noblewoman-turned-scout surprises everyone when she saves King Erik's life during a brutal battle. But as Erik fights to protect Alden, his brother plots to steal it, with the help of Alden's greatest enemy, the Priest. An Oridian lord and powerful witch, the Priest keeps Oridia's soldiers equipped with bloodforged weapons, and is rumoured to command darker magicks besides. It is said the Oridian army never loses a battle when the Priest rides with them, and now he's been spied on the battlefield itself, just as Alix is thrust to the front lines. Newly promoted to Captain and personal bodyguard to the king, Alix finds herself dangerously unprepared for the task at hand.BloodforgedWar offers little respite for the bold, and as King Erik's bodyguard, Captain Alix Black is no exception. Though recently married to Prince Liam White and finally reunited with her brother Alix's duty to Erik has never been so important... or so difficult. The Oridian Warlord amasses his forces for invasion. Without aid, the Kingdom of Alden will surely fall, but gaining new allies will mean risking the few Erik already has. Riggard and his men must hold the line at the border, while Liam is sent to Onnan City to secure their fleet of ships, leaving Alix and Erik to the most dangerous task of all: crossing the Broken Mountains to seek an alliance with the Kingdom of Harram, an aloof nation led by a famously prickly king. But even Alix may be no match for the insidious assault Erik's enemies are preparing to deploy...BloodswornAlix Black's legendary boldness has landed her in trouble before, but her recent actions are tantamount to treason. By secretly ordering the assassination of the enemy King, Alix inadvertently strengthened the Warlord, last and most ruthless of Oridia's Trions, giving him free reign to escalate his butchery and prolong the bloody war. Unbeknownst to his court, King Erik has been spellbound by the enemy. Alix hopes to protect her king without sacrificing his crown. But she'd better hurry: in a court crawling with spies, it won't be long before her treachery is discovered, and then Alix and everyone sheloves will pay the ultimate price. To save the kingdom, Alix must first save her king. The repercussions of Alix's secret mission have already cost her dearly, and even if she succeeds, she stands to lose her family, her husband, her king...and her soul.
