Series background & context
The Order of the Blade series takes place in a dangerous paranormal world where the Calydon warriors live by loyalty, duty, and a hard code of honor. These immortal men are powerful, feared, and often carrying enough personal damage to make love seem like a very bad idea.
Then the women they cannot ignore arrive.
Beginning with Darkness Awakened, the series follows individual couples while a larger conflict runs through the books. Curses, ancient enemies, magic, missing people, and threats from within the warriors' own ranks keep the pressure high. The romances are intense, but they are never separate from the action. Falling in love can make a character stronger, or give an enemy a new weakness to exploit.
The Calydons are a band of brothers, so earlier characters keep turning up as allies, protectors, and occasionally sources of trouble. That continuing connection gives the series a found-family feel, even when its setting is full of violence and supernatural danger. New readers will get the clearest introduction by starting with Darkness Awakened and following the main novels in order.
This is paranormal romance with a darker edge. The heroes are often battle-worn and suspicious of happiness. The heroines are not there merely to be rescued, either. They bring their own power, secrets, and reasons for stepping into the fight.
Expect curses, magical battles, protective warriors, heated attraction, and relationships tested by the very real possibility that someone may not survive the next mission. The emotional stakes stay close to the supernatural ones, which is what links the books together.
