BOOK ONE
In a city where magick means death, one woman must choose whether to burn the world—or stand with the man who will.
Vanth the Vile is a Salt Sword of Armoria: a skilled fighter, a cynical tavern crawler, and fiercely loyal to the High Lord who saved her from a life on the streets. The one thing she never wanted to be was moon-blessed. Bound to a dark magick that scorches and destroys, Vanth must choose between loyalty and ruin as the High Lord's monsters rise.
Gwin is a frost-wielding Asrai druid, seeking vengeance against the High Lord who shattered her homeland. Vanth would make a powerful ally, but the cursed Salt Sword would rather see Gwin hang than turn traitor.
As the twin moons shift and arcane horrors rise from beneath the earth, Armoria teeters on the edge of collapse. Secrets fester. Witches scheme. The Changing of the Moons brings more than just unrest—it has awakened something long buried.
Perfect for fans of The Witcher, Priory of the Orange Tree, and The First Law trilogy, The Obsidian Druid is a dark epic fantasy full of morally grey heroines, forbidden magick, and rum-soaked rebellion.
