The Tiger Sword Trilogy consists of The Deepest Edge, The Steel Caress, and The Kissing Blades, all published in 2003. The series draws on Asian weaponry and martial arts as both setting and metaphor, weaving paranormal elements into action-heavy plots that carry the romance forward. Jessica Hall published all three books in the same year, giving readers a complete trilogy to work through without waiting.
The trilogy occupies a specific corner of paranormal romance that emphasizes physical conflict and ancient tradition alongside the relationship arc. For readers who find most paranormal romance too light on action or too dependent on standard supernatural creatures, the Tiger Sword books offer a different kind of tension.
