Author Description

Since childhood, Rawdha was known throughout the village as` Tarnished Blade' because her mom, the once great and feared Bah'ar warrior, Merit, brought disgrace to the tribe. Rawdha grows up training with one goal: vindicate her family and distinguish herself as a swordswoman. When accepting a mission to join her Bah'ar Sisters, she knows it is led by the woman who was responsible for her mon's disgrace. She struggles between what her Sisters expect; self sacrifice and unselfish commitment to the warrior code, or a common soldier driven by selfishness. However, Rawdha discovers that living the life of an honorable warrior is a razor's edge between trust, deception and the fortitude to be true to one's self even if it could cost her life.
