Swords and Sigils by Sharon T. Rose

What would you do to create your place in the world? 

Swords and Sigils screen capture

Melkeen is a prodigy, a young Wizard with incredible magikal abilities.  Sarta is a barbarian blade-for-hire of unbelievable skill.  Together, they are a formidable team.  And the world is against them.

Required by his elder (and rival) Wizards to search out rare and dangerous artifacts, a young man hires a woman to guard him on his travels.  Their contract is strictly business, but friendship can grow in the strangest places.  This is a good thing, considering the journey they’re about to take.


A serialized novel, updating weekly

Note: Swords and Sigils contains some graphic violence and harsh language.
