Out Now: The Executioner’s Blade

The cover for the novel The Executioner's Blade by Andrew Knighton. On it, a grey-haired woman with a sword stands with a dargon's tail curled around her. In the background, dragons and fire fly above the rooftops of a city. Above the author's name is a quote:

A family cowered behind a wyvern’s cadaver. Too slow to run, they had become trapped between the half-butchered corpse and the granite wall.

Quotes by Andrew Knighton (?)

“They say that in space no-one can hear you scream. The truth is even more disturbing. In space, no-one can tell that you aren’t American.”
― Andrew Knighton, A Mosaic of Stars: Short Stories From Other Worlds

“You know what a hero is? It's what you're left with when you cut away half the story, when you spill blood, then hide it under the rushes Wars aren't just glory and courage, they're sickness and starvation, a hundred suffering victims for every warrior who rides home triumphant. Heroism's a lie we tell ourselves so we can live with the loss. There are no heroes in the real world.”

“Those velociraptor talons seemed such a good idea at the time. Sure, Mark lost the manual dexterity he’d long taken for granted, but in a world full of body mods, opposable thumbs weren’t the must have item they’d always been.”
