Honeyed Words

In this urban fantasy adventure sequel to Black Blade Blues, an Oregon blacksmith grapples with her new life as a hero while dark forces rise again.

Sarah Beauhall is a blacksmith, has a night job as a props manager for a low-budget movie, and her free time is spent fighting in a medieval reenactment group. Her world falls apart when she repairs an ancient sword that everyone suddenly wants. Just who is “everyone?” Dragons, for one, real creatures who live among us as shape-shifters, beings who in fact have been the secret master of our world from time immemorial.

As Sarah tries to make her way in this new world, she discovers just how little she knows of reality. Fairies and dwarves and giants abound, the fault line of the Pacific Northwest is rife with ancient Norse magic, and Odin himself (in the guise of a homeless man) appears at will, with ravens at his side and cryptic advice for the fledgling heroine. And the cherry on the sundae? The discovery that Sarah’s girlfriend is from a family that has been battling these forces for generations and they look to Sarah as their last best hope.

What’s a girl to do when the powers of the world decide that you’re responsible for cleaning up the magical mess?
