Product Description

Product Description

The Necromancer King has been defeated and his surviving forces are in retreat. But a new threat marches against the Kingdom of Keesee, promising destruction.

Scouting along the western frontier, Flank Hawk and Grand Wizard Seelain discover an army massing, the army of Fendra Jolain, Goddess of Healing. Weakened and battle weary, Keesee and her allies cannot withstand Fendra Jolain’s powerful army of men and beasts arrayed against them.

One hope of survival remains: Retrieve the Blood Sword from the immortal Colonel of the West and bring its sinister strength to the battlefield.

To accomplish this end, Flank Hawk accompanies Grand Wizard Seelain as she leads a mission across land and sea. Together they find new allies while confronting new foes, learning that the war ravaging Keesee is part of a larger struggle whose roots stretch back to the First Civilization’s Fall.

If the Blood Sword can be obtained, it must be done quickly. Every day means more death for the defenders of Keesee. Every day is one day closer to utter defeat. Even if Flank Hawk can deliver the Blood Sword to King Tobias’s hand in time, will the malevolent blade’s magic be enough?

“Blood Sword is a tremendous installment in one of the most inventive and compelling fantasy sagas I have read in years!”
-Stephen Zimmer, author of the Fires in Eden Series and The Rising Dawn Saga.

“Blood Sword continues the adventures started in Flank Hawk, in which Ervin created a unique and detailed post apocalyptic world where magic works but ancient technologies from the First Civilization--our world--still exist. You'll cheer as they face off against griffins, fallen angels, gargoyles, and worse, in a fun, engaging adventure filled with wall to wall action.”
-David Forbes, author of the Osserian Saga

“A worthy successor to the original novel, packed with action and entertainment.”
-Jim Bernheimer, author of the Dead Eye series and Confessions of a D-List Supervillain

“A classic epic fantasy with plenty of original twists. You won’t want to put it down, even when you’ve reached the end.”
-David Debord, author of The Silver Serpent and Keeper of the Mists

“Grab hold! Ervin’s got the magic!”
-C. Dean Andersson, author of the Bloodsong Trilogy

“A curious blend of epic fantasy, modern techno-thriller and non-stop action-adventure.”
Erica Hayes, author of the Shadowfae Chronicles

“Buy it or chalk it up on that long list of things you regret not doing!”
Stephen Hines, author of Hocus Focus

Entertaining Sequel 30 Jan 2012
By Debra L. Martin - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
In this sequel to FLANK HAWK, the war against the Kingdom of Keesee continues as a new enemy enters into the foray. Fendra Jolain, the Goddess of Healing, sends her army of men and magical beasts against King Tobias' forces. The war is brutal and even with allies, the king knows he needs a miracle or strong magic to win against the hordes of beasts sent against him. To stop the goddess, he needs the magic of an ancient relic, the Blood Sword; the only weapon that can kill Fendra Jolain. King Tobias once again sends mercenary Flank Hawk, scout Lilly, air wizard, Seelain, and a small contingent of fighters to retrieve the weapon from the immortal Colonel of the West.

The challenges the group faces as they travel across Keesee seem insurmountable, but through sheer determination and a bit of luck along the way, they make it across the ocean to Outpost 4 where they can ask the Colonel for the sword. But all is not well for the Colonel either. He's struggling in a war on the western continent and the communication system at Outpost 4 is destroyed forcing Flank Hawk and his group to travel overland to reach the Colonel at his central outpost. Along the way they meet more magical beasts: ogres, satyrs, and centaur warriors. The author does a great job melding all of these magical beasts into the story of war, loss, loyalty and friendship. Used as a pawn in the war of magic, Flank Hawk steadfastly refuses to give up as death and destruction pile up around him. His indomitable spirit shines bright and the final battle between the princes of Keesee and Fendra Jolain is riveting.

I would recommend that you first read "Flank Hawk" Book 1 in the Lost Civilization's Legacy series to fully enjoy and understand the genius of the author as he takes you on a journey that once again follows Flank Hawk and his friends as they face unbeatable odds to save the Kingdom of Keesee.

Excellent read 9 Mar 2012
By Story Teller - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Terry Ervin's Blood Sword is a must read for any fantasy or SF reader. His prose is professional and the characters and settings are vivid. This follow-up sequel to Flank Hawk finds the same protagonist, Flank Hawk called to travel to the western continent to retrieve the Blood Sword to aid King Tobias's defense of Keesee, against the seemingly unstoppable Fendra Jolain. The Blood sword is the only weapon capable of killing Jolain.
Flank Hawk's band faces hazard after hazard along the way and must use their wits and battle skills to survive and reach Keesss in time to ward off the attack. The action is practically non-stop and believable for this fantacy world. It stands alone from his first book 'Flank Hawk', but I'd recommend reading that one as well.

Blood Sword- a worthy sequel 6 Mar 2012
By J. D. Elder - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Terry W. Ervin's second installment in the Flank Hawk series is a worthy follow up to his first novel. Ervin creates a vivid and fascinating world that literally comes to life within the pages of the book and allows the reader to paint a picture of what's going on in the story in his/her mind. If you are into the sci-fi/adventure genre and like action, lush, layered storylines, and memorable characters, then I highly recommend Blood Sword.
