Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons
Oaths of Blood is an action-packed grimdark historical fantasy set during the Crusades, in the vein of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne.
In 1099, the armies of Christendom march for Jerusalem. Mercenary captain Robert Cutnose finds himself in the belly of a siege tower waiting to storm the walls in a desperate attempt to take the city.
But what they find inside the city is far more terrifying than the arrows and spears that fly their way…
After a savage attack by the moonlight, Cutnose’s lifeblood leaks from his veins, and he is thrust into an immortal war between the Order and their prey they simply call the Hunted. Each desires to own a relic with power far greater than he could ever imagine. With the aid of a secretive party of warriors, he must track down the man who ripped out his throat in the blink of an eye, for if he does not, his future as a human will be short.
As he crawls deeper into the shadows, it is clear, only oaths made in blood survive.
A war-filled journey through the crusades and into the depths of the ancient Noctis Bellum. Filled with legendary characters both barbaric and gray, driven by valor and treachery alike!
“Bloody, brutal, and brilliantly action-packed. Historical fantasy that will sink its fangs into you!” — Andy Peloquin, author of Darkblade
“The characters, the prose, the dialogue and the action all blend perfectly into a heady tale fit for a king’s mead hall. And it’s only just beginning. Well done and five stars.” —Eric Schumacher, bestselling author of God’s Hammer, Hakon’s Saga
“I thought the plot was great. By chapter 2, I was fully invested. By chapter 6 I was engrossed and had to know more right now. The twists and turns it takes you on, plus the well written and beautifully described action/fighting senes – it’s reminiscent of John Gwynne and Joe Abercrombie.” – Stress Reader

Author Bio:
Logan is the author of the grimdark historical fantasy The Oaths of Blood Saga.
A lifelong traveler, he has visited over 50 countries for both for work and for pleasure. Lifted in Arnold’s childhood gym in Austria, asked his wife to marry him in an abandoned castle in Ireland, bartered for jewelry in a Kuwaiti souk, drank beers and sang quite poorly German songs at Oktoberfest in Munich, and burned a Viking ship during Hogmanay in Edinburgh.
Fantasy, historical fiction, and history novels dominate his library. In particular, the works of George R.R. Martin, Steven Pressfield, Bernard Cornwell, and Robert Jordan inspire his work. He currently resides in Virginia, a place with enough history to keep him busy until the end of time, with his wife, son, and a dog named Ronin the Barbarian.
If he has free time, which is rare, he throws axes (usually at targets), is physically active, and loves taking his family on adventures.
And he’s convinced his nieces he’s a werewolf…
