"The Blade Mage delivers big-muscled magic and high octane thrills." -- Gary Phillips, Matthew Henson and the Ice temple of HarlemThe sword chooses its wielder.I never asked to be Blade Mage. My fellow wizards weren't exactly thrilled about my selection, either. Unfortunately, those weird old druids have a strict no returns policy.So I left, and for the past few years, I've managed to hide from my responsibilities and former life. But I always knew one day the Cabal would come looking for its precious sword. And so they have, but only because a heinous crime has occurred...A wizard of the Cabal has used forbidden magic to slay a fellow wizard. It's an open and shut case. The killer admitted it. He also stands accused of kidnapping a child, who is still missing, but they say that isn't my problem. No, as Blade Mage, the Cabal only expects one thing of me: they expect me to play the role of Executioner.Problem is...The accused is my best friend.And before I chop his head off, or decide to just walk away, I want to know the truth. But the path to the truth is filled with shifty wizards, fearsome witches, insidious demons, and supernatural conspirators at every turn.It ain't easy being the Blade Mage."Witty, action-packed, and never one to shy away from the unexpected. Phillip Drayer Duncan is not to be missed." -- J.H. Fleming, The Queen of Moon and Shadow

"Phillip Drayer Duncan is not to be missed." -- J.H. Fleming, The Queen of Moon and ShadowSo, there I was...just minding my own business and having a drink at a local watering hole, when this strange woman approaches me, begging for help.I've never seen this woman in my life. I have no idea who she is.If she's to be believed, she doesn't know who she is, either. Nor does she know where she came from, or exactly why it is she needs my help.She sure as heck knows who I am, though. She knows that I'm the Blade Mage.It only gets weirder.Before I can figure out what to do, the shadows come to life and attack. It isn't me they want, but this strange woman.My every instinct screams that I should run away. But...I am the Blade Mage.I've no choice but to help, but there are powers after this woman that I am helpless to stand against. It doesn't look like I'll be the Blade Mage for long."The Blade Mage delivers big-muscled magic and high octane thrills." -- Gary Phillips, Matthew Henson and the Ice temple of Harlem

"Phillip Drayer Duncan has done it again." -- JC Crumpton, Silence in the GardenYou'd think I would've learned my lesson. When the Cabal shows up at my doorstep, it always leads to trouble.This time they want me to go to Memphis. Apparently, the Cabal has a partnership with a secret Order called the Memphis Knights. They look like a motorcycle club, but they're actually Templars, and Memphis is their city.Their leader has been murdered, and magic was involved.But they don't want mages running rampant in their town. And the victim's son is only willing to trust one member of the Ozark Mountain Cabal. The one who was chosen by a magical sword.And that, of course, would be me.My job is to go in, make a good a show for the Cabal, and avoid getting into trouble while this whole thing blows over.Surely I can manage that, right?No, of course not.The deeds are too dark to ignore. The loss too familiar. The enemies too vile.I'm the Blade Mage, and I don't care whether I'm up against an army of demons and dark wizards, or if most the Knights want me out of their town, I'm going to help them get vengeance, even if it costs me everything."A witty read that takes you through the backwoods and hog trails of a great story." -- Jason Fedora, The Truth of Betrayal
