Legacy of the Vermillion Blade (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9798986994925)

Talon Cour-Vermane is not only the sole inheritor of his House's lands, titles, and political power, but also of the pact his family has forged with darkness through countless generations. From birth, Talon's father tethered his son's life to the family's bloodline and his own ambitions of power, but everything changes when a new blacksmith and his young apprentice, Richen, join the staff at the Cour-Vermane estate. With their fateful meeting, Talon's life changes course forever, derailing the meticulously laid out existence planned for him. From his family's estates and the countryside of Eleryon to the extents of the Xallian Empire and the dwarven kingdom of Lymehold, Talon discovers the different aspects of love, true family, and himself as he battles his cursed blood and the shackles to darkness his father bound him with.

"I wanted to craft an epic fantasy story featuring the incredible diversity of love and relationships that span the asexual spectrum in my LGBTQIA+ inclusive world. The new continent of Rhymera acts as the backdrop for Talon's story, and I've filled it with a rich tapestry of living characters and unique locations that followers have come to expect from my storytelling."

- Jay Tallsquall

An accessible tale of high fantasy adventure for all of those who have yearned for love and felt the heartbreak of its loss, Legacy of the Vermillion Blade is for the hopeful broken-hearted and the broken hopeful-hearted in us all.
