“Both stylish and self-assured: Raymond Chandler meets Raymond E. Feist.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) on The Sword-Edged Blonde“Hardboiled high fantasy--what’s not to like? Bledsoe keeps me reading from the first page, and I’m always eager for the next installment when the last page is turned.”--Charles de Lint on Burn Me Deadly"Ry and Tanna are not your average couple; he's a reporter and she is a blind witch with an uncanny gift. The story of how they came together is one part eerie, one part charm, and two parts pure, heady love. In short--it's magical. I know it cast a spell on me!"--Deborah Blake
