The strong do not tempt fate; they court destiny.
​
Viggo lives a simple woodsman’s life in the Dales of Madreanah, where the clans have lived in peace for decades. But when two enigmatic strangers crash into his world, Viggo is dragged into a far-reaching conflict – and forced to face dangers he could never have imagined.
​
Beyond the borders of Madreanah, powers are shifting. Along with the mysterious northerner Netalia, Viggo may be the key to preventing a kingdom-crushing power from descending… but with war on the horizon, the road ahead may be paved with blood.
​
Caught in a crossfire of kings, bound by a sword and a promise, can Viggo endure the brutal path to victory at Netalia’s side – or will the cost of heroism prove too high?
​
Secret Keeper is the action-packed first novel in Edward Tome’s gripping fantasy series, Lore of the Blood.
