Curse Breaker Enchanted

2016

There is an alternate cover edition for this ASIN here. Start No Fires. Carry No Weapons. Do No Harm. Those three rules safeguarded countless generations of travelers through the enchanted forest—until they didn’t. One boy’s murder ripped open a gateway allowing evil to enter. Now no one is safe from corruption. Enchanted trees take Sarn to where the forest failed to uphold its rules. Seeing a dead child gifted with the same magic as his son unhinges Sarn. He vows to find out the truth no matter what the cost. But his gift is untrained. Finding answers won’t be easy. Sarn must balance nights serving the Rangers with days dedicated to hiding his son from the dark forces stalking them both. When Sarn’s masters demand he abandon the quest, he faces an impossible choice—doom the ghost whose murder endangers them all or die from the backlash of breaking his word. With the odds stacked against him, can Sarn fix anything or will all be lost? In a country where magic is illegal, an untrained mage is their only hope.

Be careful what you promise. Oaths can kill. Magic might be stronger when it's broken, but the promises Sarn forged with them are even stronger. Two conflicting promises bind Sarn. He must satisfy them both even though a monster’s chasing him and an evil entity keeps trying to take his soul. Serving more than one master is not only damned near impossible without magic, it’s also deadly. But Sarn doesn’t have a choice because his word is his bond, and he gave his word to Death’s Marksman and an otherworldly entity named J.C. who just might be the son of God. Breaking his word is not an option. Sarn must keep both promises or die trying because those promises won’t let him break them, not even to save the son he adores. With the mountain falling down around them and no exit in sight, can Sarn and his son prevail without magic to help them? Find out in Curse Sundered. Curse Sundered is the action-packed sequel to Curse Falls. Christian Fantasy meets epic fantasy in this fast-paced narrative pitting Sarn and his young son against monsters and mind-enslaving supernatural entities as they try to keep their promises.
