In this episode of The Truth About Storytelling, I read Chapters 26-27 from Dark Blade Forged, the first novel in the Dark Blade Trilogy.

These chapters shift into the perspectives of two powerful secondary characters: Theran, a royal sword guard uncovering dangerous secrets alongside Lady Leandra, and Stelia, an enslaved mercenary risking everything to help captives escape the brutal Drinaii.

As tension builds across the kingdom, loyalties are tested and acts of courage begin to shape the fate of Aramatir.

I also share an update on the Dark Blade Trilogy Kickstarter, which has already reached full funding!

In Episode 146 of The Truth About Storytelling, Tyrean Martinson reads Chapters 24–25 of Dark Blade Forged, an epic fantasy novel featuring a cursed sword, faith-driven themes, and a powerful redemption arc.

She also shares an update on the upcoming Kickstarter for The Dark Blade Trilogy, including new hardcover editions, revised content, and how readers can be part of bringing the full trilogy to life. (Kickstarter Link)

Perfect for fans of epic fantasy, Christian fantasy, and immersive storytelling with themes of light vs. darkness, courage, and redemption.

In this podcast, I share a bit of news about my poetry collection To Speak and The Dark Blade Trilogy Kickstarter Campaign, but my main purpose is the reading of Chapters 22 and 23 of Dark Blade Forged.
