About The Cunning Blade by Tommy Lee Kidd
John MacGilley is not a hero.
He has no legendary weapon. No great destiny. No reason to believe his life will ever be anything more than ordinary.
But destiny does not wait to be understood.
When he is drawn onto the road with three unlikely companions—a mysterious wizard named Eli, a hardened wanderer named Kael, and a sharp-tongued dwarf named Mark—his world begins to unravel into something far greater than he can control.
Eli speaks in guarded truths, as if he knows what lies ahead but refuses to reveal it.
Kael carries the weight of a man who has already seen what happens when things go wrong.
And Mark, beneath his humor and stubbornness, hides a power that defies nature itself—the ability to become a white wolf, as fierce as he is loyal.
They are not simply traveling.
They are running.
Because something has begun to hunt them.
The Inquisition—an ominous force fueled by a dark and relentless power—does not pursue without reason. And it does not stop once it begins.
Somehow… John is at the center of it.
He doesn’t know why he’s being hunted.
He doesn’t understand what he’s becoming part of.
And he has no idea that this journey will lead him to something that will change everything.
Not just for him.
But for all of Eyrth.
Before the blade is ever found…
the journey begins.
The Cunning Blade is the first installment in the MacGilliad series—a character-driven epic fantasy filled with fellowship, danger, humor, and the slow unfolding of a destiny that cannot be escaped.
