THE BLADED FAITH

David Dalglish

A usurped prince will take up the mantel of a deadly assassin to reclaim his kingdom, his people, and his slain gods in the explosive start to USA Today Bestseller David Dalglish's new epic fantasy trilogy.

Cyrus was fourteen when his gods were slain, his country invaded, and his parents--the king and queen--beheaded in front of him. After years held prisoner in the invader's court, a mysterious group of revolutionaries breaks him free and gives him the chance for revenge that he's always dreamed of. In exchange, he will become the figurehead of their rebellion. He will become a hero to unite the people and strike fear in the hearts of the imperials. He will take up the skull mask and swords to become the legendary "Vagrant" - an unparalleled assassin of otherworldly skill.

But all is not as it seems. Creating the illusion of a hero is the work of many, and Cyrus will soon discover the true price of his vengeance.

David Dalglish currently lives in South Carolina with his wife Samantha, and daughters Morgan, Katherine, and Alyssa. He graduated from Missouri Southern State University in 2006 with a degree in Mathematics and currently spends his free time playing an unhealthy amount of FFXIV.

THE BLADED FAITH is gripping, violent and action-packed. It is also about colonialism, PTSD, fighting the good fight & what it truly means to put your life on the line for what's right. This is David Dalglish at his finest and the Vagrant Gods trilogy promises to be his best story that he's published so far.

THE BLADED FAITH is an action-packed start to David Dalglish's new Vagrant Gods series. Full of sorcery, bloodshed, and a surprisingly charming found family, the story's twisty final chapters set up an ending that promises much more excitement to come.

Dalglish's plotting and pacing are top-notch... this book is Arkane Studio's Dishonored meets D&D's divine magic.

This dark adventure will hook genre fans with its detailed world building, strong characters, and gory, action-packed scenes. Readers who enjoy Mark Lawrence and Erika Johansen will appreciate Thanet's masked, sword-carrying hero and rebel team of misfits, eagerly anticipating a continuation to Dalglish's new series.

In THE BLADED FAITH, Dalglish paints with epic, colorful action and poignant aftermath to illustrate the violent path of grief and the healing force of family found along the way.

David Dalglish's beautiful, grandiose and expansive THE BLADED FAITH begins at the roots of a rebellion... this is a rebellion with soul, and one that promises to reach even greater heights as the series continues. Given Dalglish's track record, don't be surprised if he somehow manages to top the triumphant standard he sets with THE BLADED FAITH.

Filled with intense action, and complex characters who are easy to fall into, THE BLADED FAITH is what might happen if Final Fantasy crossed with The Way of Shadows! I loved it!
