Uritus and the Sword of Fire
Uritus Subian was fourteen when he left the fishing village he called home. The past seven years had swallowed him up in a storm so tumultuous, he had nearly forgotten that he knew how to swim. An orphan with naught but his horse and a bag of his belongings, he ventured into the sanctuary of the mystical White Mountains in search of a new beginning.
Nearly ten years later, with his found family by his side, he travels to the capital city of Suscundos to offer his sword to the princess Adiadni, the prophesied one who must journey beyond the ominous Looming Mountains to retrieve a legendary weapon—the sacred Sword of Fire. He is immediately swept up in the beauty he encounters there, but it is not long before he discovers that his part to play may be far greater than he ever imagined.
Adiadni Vindella was born with a mark on her arm that signified her as the long-awaited guardian who would pave the way for the Hero. Despite having prepared her whole life to fulfill her destiny, she arrives at its doorstep feeling frightened and alone. This all starts to change when she meets the people who will go with her… and the man who stumbles with her into a romance that she never dared dream for herself.
Join Uritus and his companions as they fight their way through dangerous encounters, grow deeper in their appreciation for one another, and look for spots of joy wherever they can. Uritus and the Sword of Fire is an exciting tale about love, grief, and the necessity of keeping your eye on hope through it all. Enter a land rich with sparkling Magic and vibrant culture.
The Free World awaits.

“I loved this book. Let me start there. High fantasy and epics are usually not my jam, but this one was so funny, so lovely, and captivating. It got my heart racing, that’s for sure. I look forward to reading this again and again throughout the years.”

“A retelling of the classic hero’s journey. Full of romance, danger, and fascinating locations and people, this is a story worth reading! Grab a cup of something hot, find a cozy corner, and let Dove take you on an adventure you won’t soon forget.”

“Uritus and the Sword of Fire has all the excitement, intrigue, adventure, and romance you would expect from a great fantasy epic. But Dove’s voice excels particularly in her creation of complex and diverse characters, whose own voices and emotions and stories you will not only hear, but feel.
Uritus does not have a dull moment, yet Dove deftly balances this thrilling pace with the time carefully taken to allow her characters to bloom and universe to expand before your eyes.
I have laughed out loud, boiled with righteous anger, been overwhelmed with joy and cried more times than I can count. Every moment immersed in the mesmerizing world Dove has created is time well spent, and I hope you get the opportunity to join me there.”
“Not all love is as sudden as the strike of a match. Some… most blooms over time. But it is no less valuable for that. If anything, it allows us to better appreciate the journey that it takes to get there.”
