About The Book

The thrilling conclusion to the Blade & Bone series, with all the fae, fantasy and magical elements fans of Romantasy will love.

"Fans of pseudo-medieval fantasy quest tales and authors like Terry Brooks, Anne McCaffrey, and Brandon Sanderson, and those looking for something to read after bingeing the Netflix show Cursed, will get a kick out of Overmyer's action-packed series." — Booklist on The Goblets Immortal

Forged is the third book in Overmyer’s Blade and Bone series.

Verve is meant to rule and unite the mortal and magical realms. There are several challenges standing in her way, however. Dacre, her former captor and greatest enemy, seeks to set up a kingdom with himself crowned as king and Verve as his queen. That is, until Verve tumbles through a portal leading to a realm from which there are no known means of escape. Now not only must she discover how to conquer a fae more powerful than she, Verve must also find a way home without being eaten by wyverns or losing her magic to a crafty siphon.

The Blade & Bone trilogy follows Verve as she navigates a world full of out of control magic and temperamental fae. ‘Brittle’, ‘Tempered Glass’ and ‘Forged’ all intricately weave together fantasy and folklore to create an altogether thrilling and unforgettable experience for readers.

On Brittle. 'The book works for any fan of fantasy, but its full embrace of the Faeries means that it would appeal especially to fans of boggarts and sprites.'

The book is fast-paced and can be read in a day—perfect for a long airplane ride.” — SciFiMoviePage
