A Hero Forged in Blood

When tragedy upends his safe, boring life tucked into an obscure hamlet in the wilds of Empyrea, Kaden learns of his destiny as the king of Empyrea. Called to act by a powerful wizard, the fledgling king must traverse unfamiliar lands and tame his untapped power to fulfill his purpose. He must unite the scattered tribes and find the ancient armor and sword, artifacts blessed by Orealus that his father once wielded.

Kaden's quest to fulfill his destiny takes him through the most dangerous places in the land, confronting vile creatures beyond even those his worst nightmares could conjure. Marauding hoards, wielded by Lucient, a powerful dark spirit that possesses a strong hatred for everything of light and good, want nothing more than to destroy Kaden. To keep himself alive, Kaden must earn trust from unexpected allies, a motley crew comprised of a zany goblin, a distrusting elf, and a motherly fairy. What could go wrong?

Will his cunning wit, determination, and masterful sword-fighting skills - well, they'll be masterful eventually - be enough to crown him the leader of Empyrea and defeat the evil lying in wait ahead?

About the Author

B.H. Preston was born in 1983 in Harvey, Illinois. Growing up, reading fantasy fascinated him, and he frequented the local public library. While dabbling in a few fields, from website implementation specialist to life coach, Bryant has spent several years writing his first novel. He is the father of a young 6-year-old boy and friend to his trusty 16-month-old Goldendoodle. As an avid fantasy novel reader of J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series and C. S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia, he inspires to replicate that level of world-building in his novel. Bryant loves to create an immersive world that readers could really be a part of in his writing. When he is not writing, Bryant spends his free time watching movies, listening to music, and playing video games. He is the latest new author behind the fantasy novel A Hero Forged in Blood, the first book in the Chronicles of Empyrea trilogy. He currently lives in Duluth, Minnesota.
