Announcing: Seven Blades in Black!

Hey! I have a new book coming out!

Please welcome Seven Blades in Black, the first in a series called Songs of the Cacophony!

Not bad, right?

This is a new trilogy in an entirely new world following the adventures of Sal the Cacophony, an honest young lady with a magic gun trying her best to navigate a life through a magic-scarred wasteland serving as the battleground between an empire of decadent mages and their former servants-turned-ultra-nationalist machinists, while also hunting down and killing the seven wizards who stole her powers.

This story, a long time in the making, is basically my love letter to Final Fantasy. It has everything you’ve ever wanted in a fantasy novel. Revenge! Murder! Empires governed by lunatics wearing opera masks! Giant mechanical monstrosities powered by ancient horrors! Riding birds! Terrifying beasts summoned out of the ether! Make-outs! Stabbings! Not all at once, but pretty close succession! And, hinging upon it all, a young woman with a scar, a gun and a list of thirty-three names to kill just to feel normal again.

But don’t take my word for it! Here’s our blurb:

Among humans, none have power like mages. And among mages, none have will like Sal the Cacophony. Once revered, now vagrant, she walks a wasteland scarred by generations of magical warfare.

The Scar, a land torn between powerful empires, is where rogue mages go to disappear, disgraced soldiers go to die and Sal went with a blade, a gun and a list of names she intended to use both on.

But vengeance is a flame swift extinguished. Betrayed by those she trusted most, her magic torn from her and awaiting execution, Sal the Cacophony has one last tale to tell before they take her head.

All she has left is her name, her story and the weapon she used to carved both.

Vengeance is its own reward.

I am immensely proud of this book, out from Orbit and coming soon to bookstores near you. Here’s the preorder link! GET ON IT!
