the Sword and Spark: Book One of Order Silver

In this Shakespeare-inspired tale of betrayal and murder, one man's heroic quest becomes a battle for the soul of an empire—and his own. Mace Ealdor is a revered member of the Order of the Silver Sword, mortals who possess the Spark of the Celestials. For centuries, the Silver Swords have been the guardians of the empire of Danim, but when Mace embarks on a quest to right the wrongs of the monarchy amid a decades-long civil war, his noble ambitions soon threaten everything he seeks to protect. Friends become enemies, heroes become villains, and the only path to salvation rests in the will of the Stars themselves.
