His mother was murdered. His father, a traitor. His son, a criminal. And he may be the most powerful wielder on the continent—at least according to the dead.

Once the youngest Sword Master of Aris, Kit of the Sehdaegr has spent years hiding from his past, abandoning his name and gift to live in exile. He wasn’t happy. He was drunk most nights—but his children were safe. That is, until his son, Kol, agrees to a marriage arranged by Kit’s cruel uncle.

Branded a blood-traitor, Kit is forced to return to Leaeri, where corruption thrives beneath a façade of sandstone, lush gardens, and gleaming mosaic tile. Determined to save his son, Kit uncovers truths that will reshape not only his world, but the realm of the dead itself.

Set in a city caught in magical upheaval, Amber in the Hilt explores grief, fractured morals, and reluctant power, as a broken father struggles to rewrite his legacy.
