Whetstones of the Will is the third book in the Lords of Order and Chaos series by author R.J. Hanson. It's the sixth story in the Bloodlines Reforged Saga and eighth if you count the short stories Death of a City, Birth of a Curse and Morosse, the Spike Thumb.
Whetstones of the Will is set in the year 1650, in the Age of Restored Great Man Kings. If you're following the author's suggested reading order, it should be read after Bloom of Blood and Bone and before Stalking Shadows.[1]
Dunewell, seeking the path that embodies both his oaths and his conscience, is pursued by honest and just men across the wilds of Stratvs. Moving as both predator and prey, he and Jonas track the legendary vampire, Lord Slythorne. Will their uneasy alliance hold long enough to destroy the monster before it’s too late? Slythorne has enthralled many, honest and devious alike. Can Dunewell evade his pursuers without spilling innocent blood? Wearing the mark of an outlaw, what other allies will the Lord of Order be forced to trust? Silas, meanwhile, secures his position by way of treaties and pacts under the astute tutelage of the drow and his mistress, Lady Dru. Now understanding the threat Slythorne poses, will Silas manipulate Dunewell, wielding his brother’s devotion as a shield against this master vampire? Can there be reconciliation between Dunewell and Silas, or will their pride doom their fate, and perhaps, the fate of the world? The Original Betrayer, the Warlock of the Marshes, walks the shores of Tarborat. What could bring the terrible and mighty Lynneare forth from his cursed fortress? The Warlord Verkial must betray someone, but who? Join us for another tale of high adventure in the world of Stratvs as the Bloodlines Reforged Saga continues in Whetstones of the Will, Book III of the Lords of Order and Chaos Series. Book VI in the Bloodlines Reforged Saga. www.bloodlinesreforged.com
