This is the first book in my Epic Fantasy series that was released in 2012. I've been wanting to revise it some, so releasing it here a chapter at a time offers the perfect opportunity. I'll have a new chapter posted every Sunday. Enjoy! :) Copyright 2012, 2018 All Rights Reserved In a world where magic and the sword rule and dragons are forgotten, a band of friends find each other but can they overcome their own fears and trials in time to fulfill their destiny? Their adventure begins in The Sword and the Flame: The Forging. Before a weapon can be used, it must be forged in the fires of life.
