Sword of Vengeance by Chris Adams

Magic portals, demonic spawn, and a classic crew of noble heroes make Sword of Vengeance by Chris Adams an immersive clash of good and evil. As the realm’s newest Guardian Knight, Gerald Cael is tasked with protecting the vulnerable from the same hellish horrors that scarred him as a child. Relying on his blade, pendant, and steadfast heart, this destiny-driven warrior rises to face an immortal turncoat that threatens the very fabric of the future. The novel may hit on some familiar sword-and-sorcery themes, but Adams weaves together an original epic with a complex hero at the helm, illustrating how traditional fantasy stories can still surprise when crafted with such precision. Expertly combining coming-of-age drama, fast-paced action that is easy to visualize, and rich character-building of both the protagonist and antagonist, the novel is a true standout for fans of classic fantasy.
