Sword of Betrayal

Publication Date: September 17th, 2019

Genre: Epic Fantasy

Publisher: Between the Lines

Edris’s lay-about life of privilege ends abruptly when his father, Lord Elros, announces that his adolescent son will enter the military in the spring. Edris has only six months to ready himself to serve a king who despises his family and will undoubtedly make his life beyond miserable.

To prepare him, Lord Elros puts Edris through a brutal training regime. Not only does he demand Edris beat every man with whom he spars, but he also insists his son knock them unconscious—even if that means fighting dirty.

About to crack under the relentless pressure, the sensitive Edris seeks a way to get out from under his father’s heavy thumb. A solution presents itself when an announcement for the latest Kings’ Quest arrives. According to the royal proclamation, the adventurer who finds the fabled Sword of Betrayal will win one thousand gold pieces, money Edris could use to start his own life with the woman he loves.

Edris proposes to undertake the quest in order to get in better shape; however, Lord Elros has another idea—Edris will undertake the quest so he can get close to, and kill, the king’s son.

Excerpt

Edris sat naked on the edge of Beatrice’s bed, sulking at the crumpled heap of clothes at his feet. Beatrice sat behind him, massaging his neck.

“It happens to everybody,” she said.

“Don’t say that,” Edris replied. “I’m not like everybody.”

She kissed his shoulder. “That…you are certainly not, Sir Edris.”

“I’m really sorry, Bea. I don’t know what’s wrong with me.”

“Nothing’s wrong. You simply have a lot on your mind.” She added tenderly, “Do you want to talk about it?”

“No.” Then Edris said, “I’m going to kill him for what he did to you. I promise. On my honor.”

“I told you, he didn’t do anything. Not really. He just got a bit handsy. I’ve had worse working at the Golden Trout, believe me.”

“What kind of man tries to force himself on a woman like that? He’s noble!”

“Ed,” she said, rubbing his muscles, “apart from you, that’s what nobles are like. An unmarried woman is fair game, whether she says no or not. Besides, he was drunk.”

Edris wrung his calloused hands. “I’m going to kill him.”

Beatrice scooched closer so that her bare breasts pressed against his back. She wrapped her arms around him. “He’s the king’s son.”

About the Author

By day, Robert Evert is an old and decrepit university professor who teaches hordes of smelly college students who rarely deign to look up from their damned phones to pay attention to the many brilliant and exciting things he has to say in class. By night, he is an aspiring writer.

Once young and idealistic and built like a skinny Norwegian god, Robert has been beaten down by time, pointless faculty meetings, and hundreds of students who repeatedly come up to him and ask: “I wasn’t in class last week. Did I miss anything?” He is now a shell of a man who sits in his darkened office sobbing while he waits patiently for Ragnarök.

When Robert isn’t daydreaming about walking through the streets of Bree or sitting in the Great Hall at Hogwarts, he writes fantasy stories which he reads to the critical acclaim of his two dogs and three cats.

His wife wants him to stop grumbling to himself and finish doing the dishes.
