The Blood of Outcasts

Cover Reveal: Wrath from the Mountains (The Bane Sword Saga #2) by D.A. Smith

October 20, 2022 by Justin Leave a Comment

Hello and welcome to the cover reveal for D.A. Smith’s next fantasy novel, Wrath from the Mountains! I was a massive fan of the first book in the series, The Blood of Outcasts, so I am super thrilled to both have the opportunity to reveal the cover for book 2 and get a copy in my hands. If you haven’t already read it, you can check out my review of The Blood of Outcasts here (I gave it a 9/10, a near perfect score!) The short of it though is that Smith has written an extremely compelling character in Masako, the disgraced samurai in dogged pursuit of redemption.

Cover Reveal and Q&A: The Blood of Outcasts by D.A. Smith

Hello everyone and welcome to the cover re-reveal for D.A. Smith’s excellent Japanese-inspired Dark/Historical Fantasy, The Blood of Outcasts! I absolutely loved this book when I read it back in March and I recently was able to make time to write down my thoughts about it. You can read my full review here, if you’d like. Spoiler alert: I absolutely loved it!

Review: The Blood of Outcasts (The Bane Sword Saga #1) by D.A. Smith

May 16, 2022 by Justin Leave a Comment

Masako is a flawed, angry, and desperate person in a dogged pursuit of redemption for her fallen clan. The depths to which she’ll sink to achieve her goal and the questionable methods she uses to get there ultimately make her a compelling, if unlikable character. With twists and turns as sharp as Masako’s katana and a blistering pace that will leave you breathless, The Blood of Outcasts is a must-read for fans of Japanese-inspired fantasy. The tale of the Dattori Clans’ downfall and Masako’s rage-filled quest to restore her Master’s honor will leave its mark on your soul, as it has mine.
