The Blade of Strife

Authored by Maxfield Harvey

Before the dragons. Before the wars. There was only a boy who wanted to matter.

When Lothar of Earson uncovers a fragment of ancient armor, he sets in motion a chain of events that will tear kingdoms apart and remake him in fire. As darkness rises from the roots of the earth, he must face not only the beasts that hunt men — but the grief, rage, and madness within his own heart.

The Blade of Strife is an epic fantasy about truth, trauma, and the cost of becoming who you are — told through the eyes of farmers and royalty, soldiers and seekers, young and old alike.

The Blade of Strife was born from the imagination of a fourteen-year-old boy and reforged decades later by the man he became. It is a story of survival, memory, and the belief that Truth stands above all.
