Blood Adept: A Teer & Kard Story (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781989674932)

From the genre-blending master Glynn Stewart, author of Starship's Mage, comes the latest in his thrilling fantasy Western series, set in a new world with a magical twist...

Hard rides and long nights as a cattle hand prepared Teer for the harsh life of a bounty hunter on the Unity's eastern frontier. His fate now tied to the disguised El-Spehari demigod Kard, his quick eye and steady shooting hand have kept them both alive-even when the bounty hunters decided justice required taking a fugitive beyond the reach of the Unity's law.

The same law would see Teer himself doomed for the magical powers now awakening within him. He has followed Kard to a strange shaman who promises to train him-but when a monster turns on and slaughters an entire hunting party, Teer and Kard take up the hunt to protect friend and foe alike.

Their hunt follows the monster to the edge of the Unity, where the Spehari lords have sent an entire regiment to bring the monster down. But teeth and claws are the least of the dangers the creature brings to bear-and the monster itself is only one of many dangers Teer and Kard face as they walk among enemies to protect the innocent...
