Hi everyone, two Five Star ARCs have come in. In short,
"extremely, extremely dark." "all of the characters were incredibly written and had me rooting for them despite being the worst of the worst."
"The fight scenes were fantastic. The gallows humor fit in well. It was a thrilling and sickening read, I devoured this book"
"Excited to see where the trilogy goes."
"a very dark read filled with violence, abuse, and war."
"Not one single character is redeemable but in a world of blood and death and suffering you take what you can get and sometimes you have to kill for it."
"This book requires strict attention to detail to follow"
" I enjoyed reading this book and I will be adding the next to my tbr list!"

I'm releasing my latest grimdark fantasy, Blades Forged. It's available as an ARC on StoryOrigin, if any of you would like to take a look. Here's the blurb:
Blades Forged: a grimdark fantasy for readers who like their heroes mentally unsound.
Captain Darrow of the Night Soil leads the Emperor’s beloved Mudline, murderers, thieves and lunatics pressed into service because shooting them was too much paperwork. Lucky him.
Once a filth collector, now the Empire’s favourite monster, he kills for loyalty and for the faint hope that someone better is giving the orders.
His men burn a farm. Darrow shows mercy, if you can call it that, and spares the lone survivor, Mirelle, by claiming her as property. Nothing says compassion like a collar. Truly, he is the hero the Empire deserves.
Mirelle of the Root: property, companion, supposed to die. Instead, she got a wardrobe and a necklace with three small diamonds. Fair trade. The thing about dogs is they hate collars, and this one is about to throw hers. She is done smiling, and she is learning to cut.
Henna of the Wire swears like a sailor, drinks like one too, and prefers a sharp knife to manners. Once sold by her father, she now makes her living killing men who remind her of him. She is reminded a lot.
Queen Elecia of Kendia plays the perfect captive. Her smile is a weapon, her charm a trap, and after dealing with her, most men would settle for being stabbed. She does not need steel; she knows the game better than that. Survival is theatre, and she is directing the play.
All of them are blades forged, waiting to cut.
For fans of Joe Abercrombie, Richard K. Morgan, and Anna Smith Spark. The Steel Remains meets The Devils in a violent grimdark fantasy of war, politics, and survival, where blood and power are currency, and redemption is not in the dictionary.
