By Blade & Bow: A Pulp Fantasy Serial, Part One: Rin of the Red Bough

In a forest shadowed by fear and fire, a lone elven hunter stumbles upon a bloodied human boy fleeing for his life. The child is no ordinary refugee—he’s a mage, gifted with flame and cursed by the world of men. When the elf intervenes to save him, he ignites a chain of events that will shape the fate of empires. Hunted by zealots, betrayed by kin, and stalked by creatures born of nightmare, an unlikely trio—a wounded elf, his fierce cousin, and the fire-wielding boy—begin a perilous journey to the distant mountains, where ancient allies may offer sanctuary. But dangers await at every turn: rival elves with old grudges, merciless bandits, monstrous beasts, and a dark mage who seeks to claim the boy’s power for himself. As blood is spilled and sacrifices made, the fires of vengeance and hope burn ever brighter. A kingdom slumbers beneath the mountain, and within it, a secret force rises—magi forged in secrecy, prepared for war. From the ashes of loss, a rebellion will rise. Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, unforgettable journeys, and found family forged in fire, By Blade and Bow is a heart-pounding adventure of courage, sacrifice, and the first sparks of revolution.
