MARTIN V. PARECE II
Blood and Steel
The Cor Chronicles, Volume I
​
Fans of Robert E Howard and Joel Rosenberg will love this! A non-stop fantasy action thrill ride full of swords, magic, and battle! Once the blood starts flowing, it just doesn’t seem to stop. A story about one young man and his battles to control his own destiny.
Blood and Steel begins the story of Cor Pelson. You see, Cor is a Dahken – a race of magical warriors long though dead by both the beneficent priests of the Shining West and the necromancers of the Loszian Empire. Shortly after he was born Cor changed – the coughing attacks came, and his skin changed to the gray of a corpse. He is different, and there were those who took notice.
Cor comes to realize that there are those who would control the power in his blood. Frightened and determined to protect those he loves, Cor steals away from home. He quickly finds that the world is not what he thought it was – the world is not full of happy farmers in a bountiful kingdom, living in peace and freedom. It is in fact a cruel, brutal place where blood flows readily and the ability to protect himself is paramount.
Those that would control the power in his blood follow him to the sea. Cor must accept that he is different, learn to unlock his strength and take revenge upon the Loszian necromancer who has wronged him.

I, being someone who struggles to get into reading recently, thought this book was absolutely gripping all the way through. I haven't been more motivated to read a book in it's entirety in a long time.
4.0 out of 5 stars Fast and enjoyable
