In the brutal kingdom of Valdyrheim, where dragons are enslaved by dark magic and gladiators die to entertain a tyrant, one man's act of mercy ignites a revolution that will shake the world.
Arved Hjoldar-once the empire's most feared Dragon Gladiator-was born to win, trained to kill, and destined to obey. Until the day he refused a direct order from the dark sorcerer-king Vorgar: kill the girl with silver magic.
That choice cost him everything.
Hunted by the king's elite riders, betrayed by the empire he served, and stripped of the only life he ever knew, Arved is forced into an escape filled with blood, secrets, and a forbidden bond that should never have existed.
Because Ylva-the woman he spared-carries a rare, ancient power capable of breaking the chains enslaving the last free dragons. And the more time they spend together, the stronger their connection becomes... and the more dangerous their future grows.
But hope rises in the frozen north.
Deep within the deadly Sýrfall Caves lies the legendary Bloodforged Sword-a weapon forged from dragon blood and guarded by the ancient wyrm Drak'Thor, a creature who has killed every warrior who dared approach.
Until Arved.
The ancient dragon recognizes something inside him-something fierce, unbroken, and worthy. And he grants Arved the sword on one condition:
Defeat the tyrant and free the dragons-or return the weapon to the depths and face death.
When the kingdom erupts into war and corrupted dragons darken the sky, Arved and Ylva must forge an alliance of clans, confront their pasts, and embrace a love that defies prophecy.
But victory carries a price.
A price the Bloodforged Sword will demand.
A price that may take Arved's power... or his life.
Epic, emotional, and cinematic, THE BLOODFORGED SWORD: THE LAST DRAGON RIDER delivers everything adult fantasy readers crave-dragon-rider battles, forbidden romance, ancient prophecy, brutal betrayal, dark magic, and a powerful ending where love becomes the most dangerous force of all.
Perfect for fans of dark epic fantasy, romantic fantasy, dragon riders, and enemies-to-lovers destiny stories with heart-shattering stakes and a triumphant happy ending.
A fallen gladiator, a forbidden bond, and a prophecy older than dragons. When Arved refuses to kill the girl he was ordered to execute, he becomes the empire's most hunted man. Their bond may free the dragons-or cost him everything he loves.Also from
