Blade of Secrets
In Blade of Secrets, the first book in Tricia Levenseller's exciting new YA fantasy duology, a teenage blacksmith with social anxiety is forced to go on the run to protect the world from the most powerful magical sword she's ever made.
Eighteen-year-old Ziva prefers metal to people. She spends her days tucked away in her forge, safe from society and the anxiety it causes her, using her magical gift to craft unique weapons imbued with power.
Then Ziva receives a commission from a powerful warlord, and the result is a sword capable of stealing its victims secrets. A sword that can cut far deeper than the length of its blade. A sword with the strength to topple kingdoms. When Ziva learns of the warlord’s intentions to use the weapon to enslave all the world under her rule, she takes her sister and flees.
Four companions ― a blacksmith, a mercenary, a scholar, and an aspiring warrior ― set out on a quest to keep the sword safe until they can find a worthy wielder or a way to destroy it entirely.

Tricia Levenseller
Tricia Levenseller writes the kinds of stories that refuse to play by the rules. Whether her heroines are commanding pirate crews, plotting thrones, or forging weapons laced with magic, her worlds shimmer with danger and desire in equal measure. A #1 New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she has carved out a place at the forefront of romantasy, the space where fantasy adventure and slow-burn romance collide, each fueling the other.
Her path to publication was far from instant. Growing up in Oregon, she spent more time in imagined kingdoms than in the real one, scribbling down adventures that stretched far beyond her backyard. After studying English Language and Editing, she thought she might work behind the scenes polishing others’ stories. Instead, after several early manuscripts and more than a few rejections, she discovered her own voice, the sharp, witty, morally gray edge that would define her debut, Daughter of the Pirate King. That novel and its sequel, Daughter of the Siren Queen, quickly won her a devoted readership, proving that swashbuckling heroines still have the power to capture hearts.
