A Sword Named Sorrow

Author of the acclaimed fantasy novel "Little Sister", Kara Dalkey has created a new, epic historical fantasy novel that takes us on a harrowing journey through heart-breaking discoveries in a haunted, mysterious land.

How far would you go to find out the truth?

Erculeo Salamago, the finest sorcerous swordsmith in all of Alta Califia, has vanished. His young apprentice Filipo, and Coraza, who may be Salamago's daughter, find their fates bound together in a land drenched in dark magic.

Guided by the blacksmith's last and most mystifying creation, a sword named Sorrow, they travel the countryside in search of the truth, in search of Erculeo.

But the road to truth is not an easy one. While evading the holy servants of the Mariana church, and battling demons called tzinn, they are pulled into a war of forbidden magics, one in which Coraza and Filipo must risk their lives to discover their destiny, save their county and each other.
