Queen’s Blade is a dark fantasy trilogy by A.W. Exley that began with Obsidian Eyes in 2014. The series leans into the darker side of Exley’s writing, with a fantasy setting that trades the steampunk gadgets of her Artifact Hunters books for something more raw and dangerous.
The trilogy spans from 2014 to 2021, with a notable gap between the first and second books. Opaque Lies arrived in 2020 and Oubliette Lost closed out the series in 2021. Readers who enjoy Exley’s other work but want something with a harder edge will find Queen’s Blade a good fit.
