Truesilver (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780988508255)

A young man stained with his father's failures. A sword of ancient power. A legend rises.

Kion Bray can't accept his father was a coward. Bullied for his dad's actions in the last war, the seventeen-year-old shepherd is determined to restore his family honor. And the only way to do it is to win the village's annual sword-fighting contest.

Lacking experience, Kion fears he might only bring more embarrassment upon those he loves. And with his biggest tormentor awaiting him in the competition and a dark army mobilizing to the north, his quest for redemption may come to a swift and painful end.

Can a simple shepherd learn to master his blade before his hopes and his people are crushed?

Truesilver is the first book in the epic Swordspeaker Saga YA fantasy series, a tale of legendary weapons and the heroes who wield them. If you like gargantuan quests, towering bravery, and coming-of-age tales, then you'll love DJ Edwardson's razor-sharp story.
