Umbral Blade Collector’s Edition
Alster Lightbridge was meant for great things. Locked away in his father’s estate, he yearns for more than cold stone walls and endless days in his family’s library. He wants the adventure promised by legend—to live up to his namesake: the revered general Alistair the Fourth.
Four centuries ago, Alistair fought and won the First Conquest of the Shades, putting an end to a plight caused by magical beings known as Shadowliths. After the war, his tomb was sealed away, hidden where no one could go, and the magic of Shades was forgotten along with it.
Crippled and alone, Alster is barely a shadow of his mythical ancestor, but that’s all about to change.
Join Alster on the epic adventure of a lifetime in the Umbral Blade Collector’s Edition featuring the complete duology plus bonus content unavailable anywhere else.
Contained within the Collector's Edition:

Alistair the Fourth was a mighty general from a long-forgotten war. Four hundred years later, Alster Lightbridge is barely a shadow of his legendary namesake. Crippled and confined to his family’s estate, he spends his days dreaming of something larger than himself—something worthy of his name.
Encouraged by his tutor to explore the Lightbridge archive, Alster discovers a magical dagger with the power to cleave shadows from their bodies. Blade in hand, Alster finally understands his purpose, though he needs to find a four-centuries-old grave in order to fulfill it.

With the Umbral Blade returned to its rightful owner, Alster and Elsey must seek another artifact—and their journey will send them into Mournstead, the dreaded capital of the east, where a single misstep means death. If they don’t succeed, all of Vecnos will perish under a brutal regime of shadows.

Chronicles of Estria: Blood and Ash
An epic adventure wrought with peril...
The punishment for vampirism is to be burned at the stake. Necromancers, should they be captured, are hung.
I am both.
My master bestowed upon my shoulders a monumental task, one that has become my life's ambition. Should I fail, at least I will burn with a smile on my face, knowing that I did not live by my father's rules, the life he would have forced upon me as his heir.
I have brought a legion of slaughter to the foot of the altar where I will soon carve my destiny, and I know that more bloodshed will follow. I welcome every drop.
