Song of Marek, The Gypsy Sword
Song of Marek, the Gypsy’s Sword
Verse 1–The Legend Begins
“Oh, gather in close, let the tale now be told,
Of Marek, the Gypsy’s Sword, fearless and bold.
No banner he follows, no oath does he keep,
His name is a shadow where brave men now sleep.”
Chorus
“Our song is of Marek, the Gypsy’s Sword,
He kneels to no master; he serves no lord.
Two blades he carries, swift, sharp, and true.
Step in his circle; he’s waiting for you.
Few leave his circle, and fewer still stand.
Your fate will be written in Marek’s hand.”
Verse 2–The Duelist’s Call
“The lords send their champions, the bold seek his fame,
Each dreaming of glory, each leaving in shame.
For swift are his strikes and precise is his art,
He’ll cut through your courage and silence your heart.”
Chorus (repeat)
“Our song is of Marek, the Gypsy’s Sword,
He kneels to no master; he serves no lord.
Two blades he carries, swift, sharp, and true.
Step in his circle; he’s waiting for you.
Few leave his circle, and fewer still stand.
Your fate will be written in Marek’s hand.”
Verse 3–The Warning
“So drink deep, young warrior, and boast if you must,
But steel turns to sorrow, and pride turns to dust.
For Marek awaits where the firelight dies,
And none who confront him can meet his dark eyes.”
Final Chorus
“Our song is of Marek, the Gypsy’s Sword,
He kneels to no master; he serves no lord.
Two blades he carries, swift, sharp, and true.
Step in his circle; he’s waiting for you.
Few leave his circle, and fewer still stand.
Your fate will be written in Marek’s hand.”

Marek of the Mists Summary
Marek of the Mists: The Sword of the Moon Maiden
© 2025 Corey E. King
Come, journey with the Sword of the Gypsies…
In the land of Storm’s End, where storms never cease and mists cloak every shadow, an orphaned boy is destined to become a legend.
Raised by the wandering Wolfe Gypsies, Marek learns the art of swordsmanship, stealth, and survival under the watchful eye of Madam Melissanthi Wolfe. Known as Marek of the Mists, he dazzles crowds in carnival duels and earns fame as a fearless fighter. But destiny has marked him for more than spectacle—whispers of an ancient evil call him to a far greater purpose.
A shattered magical blade. A betrayed queen. A demon long forgotten. As dark forces gather on the Isle of Bone—led by a necromancer of the dead, a cursed general, and the demon Vuoto himself—Marek must uncover the truth of his origins and embrace the fate written in blood and starlight.
Bound by loyalty to his gypsy family, torn by love for the spirited Melissanthi, and caught in rivalry with the enigmatic Storm Lord, Marek’s path is fraught with danger, sacrifice, and choice. The fate of kingdoms depends on his courage… and his willingness to stand against the shadows.
Rich with vivid world-building, gypsy lore, and epic battles, Marek of the Mists is an immersive fantasy of identity, forbidden love, and the fight against darkness.
Epic battles. Ancient magic. Unyielding destiny.
Marek of the Mists is the gripping first book in the Sword of the Moon Maiden Saga, a sweeping tale of heroism, betrayal, and the eternal struggle between light and shadow.
