The Secret Blade series begins with Blade of Secrets (2021), in which Ziva, a young bladesmith with magic, creates a sword so dangerous that it could shift the balance of power across her world. Unable to destroy it, she goes on the run to keep it from falling into the wrong hands. Master of Iron (2022) continues Ziva’s story as she faces the consequences of her creation.
The series also includes a prequel, The Secret Blade (2021), which provides backstory for the main events. These books have a different flavor than Levenseller’s pirate novels, trading oceanic adventures for a land-based quest driven by craftsmanship and responsibility. Ziva’s social anxiety and her relationship with her twin sister give the series a personal, character-focused core.
