About

In book 2 of the Binding of the Blade series, Kirthanin lays entrenched in civil war. But as the conflict draws to an end, an even greater threat emerges from the mountain—the Bringer of Storms, a wielder of weather, infused with the power of Malek, Master of the Forge. After one thousand years, Malek is ready to unleash the full force of his army from under the mountain. All will be lost if the people do not join together to fight this evil and dispel the encroaching darkness.

The Binding of the Blade is an original fantasy series based in part on the prophesy from the book of Isaiah.

Endorsements

"Powerful storytelling is no small accomplishment, and this alone lifts Graham head and shoulders above most of his competition. Graham's story has depth: substantial people with real problems and emotions, a tale of more than just dragons and wars. Those of us who are intrigued to see how Graham will answer his own question—about a world of warriors populating the peace they fought for—are already looking forward to the next volume in the series."

—Books and Culture

"Tolkien fans looking for a meaty new adventure should seek out this first book of the Binding of the Blade series. Graham populates his novel with realistic young adults discovering themselves and each other, as well as with stock fantasy elements given a fresh treatment. Readers will eagerly await the next installment."

—VOYA (Voice of Youth Advocates)

"L. B. Graham's vivid descriptions and believable characters quickly pull the reader into a world of friendship, love, and betrayal. An unexpected twist at the end sets up the next book in the series, one that can't come soon enough."

—Christian Retailing
