Description
“Deftly written with intricate worldbuilding and vivid characters, Seventhblade is fantasy at its finest … and I need a sequel!” — Allison Pang, writer of the Abby Sinclair urban fantasy series
For readers of N.K. Jemisin and Rebecca Roanhorse, a fast-paced, anti-colonial action-adventure fantasy that explores twisted power dynamics and the effects of settler colonialism
After the murder of T’Rayles’s adopted son, the infamous warrior and daughter of the Indigenous Ibinnas returns to the colonized city of Seventhblade ready to tear the streets asunder in search of her son’s killer. T’Rayles must lean into the dangerous power of her inherited sword and ally herself with questionable forces, including the Broken Fangs, an alliance her mother founded, now fallen into greed and corruption, and the immortal Elraiche, a powerful and manipulative deity exiled from a faraway land. Navigating the power shifts in a colonized city on the edge and contending with a deadly new power emerging from within, T’Rayles risks everything to find the answers, and the justice, she so desperately desires.
Loaded with complex characters and intricately staged action, and set in a fragmented, fascinating world of dangerous magics and cryptic gods, Seventhblade is a masterful new fantasy adventure from a bright emerging Indigenous voice.

I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

I love seeing more and more Indigenous Fantasy coming out, much like A Broken Blade and To Shape of Dragons Breath Tonia Laird crafts an engaging fantasy that you can tell the inspiration from Indigenous story telling, specifically Metis as the author is Metis herself.
It great to read a fantasy where the main character is not only older but T'Raylees has a lot of lived experience, and then throw in the fact she now must find her sons killer will also dealing with the fact she has to deal the stigma of being a half breed, it creates an engaging story and I enjoyed the ride. Also, for people who don't know Tonia use to write for Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition so it's cool to have an author who is cut her teeth in various forms of fantasy media.
I look forward to see what she writes next, I will definitely keeping an eye out.
