Madelyn has risked everything to fulfill her mother’s demand, “You must survive and tell the tale.” Sins committed to keep this vow have summoned Satan, threatening Madelyn’s eternal soul. Now she’s confined to a cell in Saint Michael’s Abbey. The heavenly warrior lends his mystical sword to battle the demon’s evil influence. But her only hope of escape is confession and absolution. TIP OF THE BLADE is set in ninth century France, a tumultuous era during the decline of Charlemagne’s Empire and the upheaval caused by Viking invasions. Travel through medieval settings, meet complex characters, delve into the realm of mysticism, and fall under the spell of forbidden romance when you join the adventure of Madelyn’s story of survival.
