The Black Trillium

Cover art for The Black Trillium by Simon McNeil, a 3D rendered image of a woman wearing leather with arm tattoos kneeling and holding a sword stabbed into the ground of a dirty alley

by Simon McNeil

Confederation rules in Trana—so says the king.

But Fredericton is a long way from the shores of Lake Ontario, and schemes for power will bring together three extraordinary young warriors.

Savannah
A desert girl who came to Trana looking for refuge but has never found a home

Kieran
A privileged city boy dreaming of rebellion and hardened by cruelty

Kyle
The disgraced heir to the throne desperate to win back his place in his father’s heart

Sworn enemies or reluctant allies, they all have one thing in common: an incomplete half of the legendary fighting skill known as the Triumvirate sword art. They fight for glory, for power, for the monsters lurking beneath the streets, and for the mysterious society moving in the shadows of Trana—the Black Trillium.

There were enough twists and turns to make it worth the investment. Lots of intrigue and great characters and world-building kept me coming back for more.
