The Chronicles of Tarod the Nine-Fingered

Morgan Blackwood

Courage is the only magic that never fails.

I write the kind of fantasy that leaves dirt under your nails and wonder in your chest. My worlds are harsh, haunted, and full of flawed people fighting desperate battles—against tyrants, against gods, and sometimes against themselves.

The Sundered Goddess Trilogy

Darkness is Sanctuary. Dawn is Death.

A world where gods have been broken and their power scattered among those who would use it — for salvation, for conquest, or for something far darker. The Sundered Goddess Trilogy is Morgan Blackwood's most ambitious work yet: a sweeping epic of survival, faith, and the terrible cost of divinity.
