Ishtar's Blade (Ishtar's Legacy Book 1)

Warrior. <br />King’s confidant. <br />Avenging blade of the Goddess Ishtar. <br /> <br />Iltani asked to be none of these things. Yet fate does not ask permission when she weaves souls upon destiny’s loom. <br /> <br />On the day of Iltani’s birth, an assassin tried and nearly succeeded in ending the line of the gryphon kings. Out of that bloodshed, an unbreakable bond was forged between child-king and goddess-chosen infant, and from that pivotal moment forward, Iltani was never farther from King Ditanu than his shadow. Not until her training to become Ishtar’s Blade required her to leave. <br /> <br />After four brutal years of training, Iltani now returns to court as Ishtar’s Blade and takes up her role of king’s shadow—a dangerous position in a court where the threat of another assassination is but a blade’s width away. But for the chance to stand at the side of her beloved king, she will endure the dangers of court intrigues, assassins, and political maneuverings. <br /> <br /> <br />Author's Note: Ishtar's Blade is a Fantasy Romance loosely based on early Sumerian and Mesopotamian religion. <br /> <br />Blade's Honor (Book 2) is forthcoming later in 2016.
