The First Blade of Ostia
The ‘First Blade of
Ostia’ is an accolade few will achieve. In Ostenheim, a city obsessed
with duelling, it is one that nobody forgets.
Bryn’s earliest memory is of watching duels in the arena. His earliest dream is of taking his place there.
Amero has no dreams. His life has been about fulfilling the expectations of
others. In search of a path of his own, the dreams of others are too
tempting to resist.
After years of sacrifice and hard work, Bryn
is finally a professional duellist. Becoming the First Blade of Ostia no longer seems the childish fantasy it once did. To find the man standing in his way is also his best friend will test him in ways he would never have believed.
