About The Blade Widow: Lightfingers Book 1 by KB Lawrence
The sword swings around . . .
Monitesca Lightfingers is famous in Ruinbreak for three things. She was born powerless to a family of esteemed witches, she is the best swordswoman in all the valleys, and she is a widow. Her marriage would have cemented an alliance meant to save the Lightfingers from financial ruin. Now she must find another way.
But when she insults her brother-in-law, angering a wealthy family already seething with accusations, she finds herself conscripted into the Varkish war. There, at least, no one will tut over her bad fortune. And her skill with a sword will be useful for more than flashy competitions.
Among the cliffs, Monitesca learns that her enemies seek more than the Lightfingers reputation. With the help of a fleshweaver eager to perfect his grisly art, they plan to steal her family’s magic, one bone at a time.
Accompanied by Varkish barbarians, an ailing immortal with a mysterious past, a tinder witch forbidden from wielding her powers, and a vengeful ghost, Monitesca must outsmart a would-be tyrant and fight through bandit-infested forests. If she doesn’t get back home in time, her family will meet a bloody fate.

Author Bio:
KB Lawrence has worked as an engineer, a patent agent, a preschool teacher, and a programmer, writing novels and short stories all along the way. When she’s not sitting at the computer, she’s chasing her husband, kids, and dogs around a tiny farm in Massachusetts. In fact, right at this moment, there is a baby lamb sleeping in a clothes hamper in her office.
KB grew up in the Northern California rain, spent some time in the Texas sun, then headed up to the Minnesota snow (Icegrind was first imagined during a particularly frigid January). This was good preparation for living in Massachusetts, where all of this weather exists in abundance.
