A Broken Spear

A Broken Spear (The Spear Series, Book 3)

By Douglas Owen

The greatest warrior of the Spears was lost-until now.

Danton, once one of the finest Spears of the Realm, judge, jury, and executioner of the law beyond reproach. A protector of the people. A legend. But over a century ago, he turned his back on the Realm and humanity, vanishing into the darkness beneath the earth to fight alongside the Hobs, the monstrous subterranean race that would see mankind undone. His betrayal became a myth. His name, a curse.

Then, he was defeated.

Struck down in combat by Jon, the young warrior who never should have bested him, Danton should have died. Instead, his spirit and mind were transferred into his slayer through the magic embedded in his sword. The echoes of a life once lived drive Jon mad, his mind unraveling beneath the weight of a past that isn't his own. When Pin-the ever-loyal mage who followed Danton into exile-places a ring upon Jon's finger, the last shreds of the boy he was are stripped away. Danton lives again, reborn in a body not his own. But before he can reclaim his place in the world, a mystery awaits-a cave that should not exist, hiding secrets even he has never heard of.

Meanwhile, Thomasyn and Bethany, feeling the loss of their friend, race toward the Capital, only to find the Realm in turmoil. Whispers of war echo through the streets, and the guards of the Capital have all changed. The throne, once secure, is crumbling beneath the weight of treachery. Once content to keep to their distant lands, the Elves prepare to invade, and the Spears, the only force capable of stopping them, have never been more fractured.

As the ancient powers stir and new enemies arise, only those willing to cross the line between hero and monster will decide the fate of The Realm.

A Broken Spear is a gripping tale of loyalty, loss, duty, and identity, perfect for fans of dark, character-driven fantasy. In a world where legends refuse to die, a question remains: Who will wield the spear when the final battle begins?
