Valandra: The Dragon Blade Cycle
An epic fantasy novel by multi-genre author Tristan Vick. If you enjoy the Shannara Chronicles by Terry Brooks, then you'll love Valandra! Arianna De Amato gathers together an army to defend the twelve realms of Valandra from the deluge of evil which washes across them. Racing to the Holy city of Sabolin, Arianna and her friends engage the black knight Ashram and the army of the dead. But during her battle, the traitorous mage, Zarine Xakandi, teleports Arianna to Mount Valoron where she is informed of a more urgent task. One which requires Arianna to enter the Nether realm, where she must seek the aid of the one they call the Outlier. But the Outlier isn’t what he seems, and an ancient evil wasn’t the only thing that reawakened with his coming. The Dragons are beginning to awaken too. Valandra is Tristan Vick's first foray into the realm of monsters and magic in the vein of Terry Brooks, Robert Jordan, and Brandon Sanderson! Contains use of magic, a lesbian protagonist, mixed human and elf relations, and magitek Juggernaut automatons made of living armor which run on dragon's eye crystals.

About the author
Tristan Vick
61 books28 followersIn elementary school, Tristan Vick once wrote about an alien which came to earth and ate his all of his classmates. His teacher made him tear it up and write a *different more egalitarian story. Apparently, being the sole survivor of the alien attack wasn't egalitarian enough. Now he writes horror, post-apocalytpic, survival, sci-fi, western, erotica, thriller, romance novels and he's not afraid of mixing his genres either.
Tristan Vick is the Author of the zombie/survival/horror series BITTEN: RESURRECTION published by Winlock Press, and exciting new imprint of Permuted Press.
He is also the author of The Scarecrow & Lady Kingston: Rough Justice, also through Winlock Press, which follows the story of a magical scarecrow that joins the LAPD.
This year (2016) Tristan Vick will release three exciting science fiction novels through his self-owned publishing imprint Regolith Publictions, including Robotica: Ultra Heavy, a cyber punk novel, Exoverse: Invasion of the Draugr, a dark sci-fi horror with ancient astronaut and alien conspiracies, and Little Red Gauntlet, a steam punk fairy tale re-telling of the beloved Little Red Riding Hood fable.
Tristan Vick graduated from Montana State University with degrees in English Literature and Asian Cultural Studies. He speaks fluent Japanese and lives with his wife and kids in Japan. When he's not commuting on the train or teaching English, he spends his time reading, writing, blogging, and eating sara udon.

Great series
I really like this series. I like arianna with all her issues and the fact that she just seems to have to be good. I can't wait for the next book to see where this is all going.
