Description

Five minutes made all the difference.

Two sisters. Two loyalties. One path together...assuming Adelei follows her destiny. Since childhood, Adelei's been trained by the best holy assassin in the Little Dozen Kingdoms, Master Bredych of the Order of Amaska. Her sister, on the other hand, has a life of privilege. The life meant for Adelei, a life she wants nothing to do with.

Now, a seasoned and respected Amaskan, the Order needs her for a mission she may not survive. The job is nothing short of a suicide mission, one serving no king, no god, and certainly not Justice. She'll be erased from the Order and for what? Who's behind the plot to wipe out the royal family of Alexander? And why does the Order care?

They say the truth depends on which side of the sword one stands, but they never said what to do when all the swords are pointing at you. Will Adelei succeed in protecting the family she loves? And which family will it be?

You'll love this epic fantasy (Book I in the Boahim Trilogy), because the world is as rich as the wonderful characters you'll come to know, love, and sometimes hate.

About the Author

Multi-international award-winning speculative fiction author Raven Oak (they/them) is best known for their epic fantasy Boahim Trilogy (Amaskan's Blood, Amaskan's War, Amaskan's Honor) and their space opera, Class-M Exile. Also, they have almost two dozen short stories published in various anthologies. They're even published on the moon! Raven spent most of their K-12 education doodling and writing 500 page monstrosities that are forever locked away in a filing cabinet.Besides being a writer, they're a disabled, nonbinary artist who enjoys getting their game on with tabletop games, indulging in cartography and etymology, and staring at the ocean. They live in the Seattle area with their wife, and their three kitties who enjoy lounging across the keyboard when writing deadlines approach. Their hair color changes as often as their bio does, and you can find them at www.ravenoak.net.

Reviews

"With a ferocious-yet-fragile heroine, resonant themes, and a sweepingly gorgeous backdrop, Amaskan's Blood delivers food for thought and frank enjoyment." --Maia Chance, author of the bestselling Fairy Tale Fatal series


"An exciting epic fantasy filled with intrigue and layers upon layers of well crafted secrets and lies." 4/5 stars. --Stephanie Hildreth of 100 Pages a Day


"Holy crap, this is good!" --Seattle Geekly


"[A] fantasy novel in its truest form...these well-developed individuals held me captive. It was a very strong start to a fantasy series that I very much look forward to following." --Pure Jonal: Confessions of a Bibliophile Reviews


"The prose itself is...a cut above the rest as Raven Oak playfully dances with the reader. It's the addition of just enough detail, and the right amount of it, that makes this read. Oak is loquaciously talented and the writing in the book shines. [She] crafts [her] words carefully, in order to pull the reader in, and once he's hooked, reels him in." --Open Book Society


"Oak draws on the power of themes found in fairy tales we've all grown up with, and weaves them into a powerful tale full of violence, emotion and anguish, whilst delivering a powerful and well held together story....If George R R Martin wrote Tangled, it might be a bit like this." --Noor Jahangir, author of The Adventures of Some Kid
