Ishtar's Blade (Ishtar's Legacy Book 1)

Warrior.
King s confidant.
Avenging blade of the Goddess Ishtar.

Iltani asked to be none of these things. Yet fate does not ask permission when she weaves souls upon destiny s loom.

On the day of Iltani s birth, an assassin tried and nearly succeeded in ending the line of the gryphon kings. Out of that bloodshed, an unbreakable bond was forged between child-king and goddess-chosen infant, and from that pivotal moment forward, Iltani was never farther from King Ditanu than his shadow. Not until her training to become Ishtar s Blade required her to leave.

After four brutal years of training, Iltani now returns to court as Ishtar s Blade and takes up her role of king s shadow a dangerous position in a court where the threat of another assassination is but a blade s width away. But for the chance to stand at the side of her beloved king, she will endure the dangers of court intrigues, assassins, and political maneuverings.


Author's Note: Ishtar's Blade is a Fantasy Romance loosely based on early Sumerian and Mesopotamian religion.

Blade's Honor (Book 2) is forthcoming later in 2016.
