Kent R. Patterson crafts epic fantasy where honor clashes with betrayal and redemption echoes through every battle. In his sweeping novel Tears of the Sword, he weaves the tale of a banished knight, shape-shifting allies, and elven bloodlines fighting against overwhelming darkness. Patterson builds worlds of intricate detail—from dragon-forged blades to castle sieges—while exploring the unbreakable bonds of family, the cost of loyalty, and the thin line between justice and mercy. When not writing, he dreams of ancient forests, moonlit duels, and heroes who refuse to fall.
