A Blade of Dark Ebony

A Blade of Dark Ebony is a consuming fantasy drama set in medieval times. It tells of a young man's coming of age, love, courage, determination and destiny. Luc Shattar was perhaps the greatest swordsman in the history of the nation of Trist, yet he is also a humble man. Turning down glory, accolades and a high position at court, he moves his family from the capital city to the warrior city of Vulhalla. There he enrolls his son, Ebon, in the famous military academy that trains children from a very young age to be great warriors for their country. Luc's military exploits helped win 20 years of peace, but now war clouds are gathering on the horizon. Luc knows the horrors of war, but young Ebon and his friends anxiously await their graduation day, at which time they will join the army of Trist for what they believe will be the greatest battle in history. Ebon's name, which means darkness, was chosen because there is a dark mystery surrounding his early life. Unaware of this, Ebon lives life fully until events overtake him and his life takes sudden and twisting turns. As Ebon trains to be a great swordsman like his father, he is also confronted with the mystery of his past, which is tied to a gift from his father, A Blade of Dark Ebony. Stephen M. Prange is a tutor in Fayetteville, Georgia. The next book in his series is the second book of Ebon's story called Black Omens.
