Oaths of Blood by Logan D. Irons
Jerusalem, 1099. The armies of Christendom have marched across the known world to claim the Holy City — and mercenary captain Robert Cutnose is in the belly of a siege tower when the walls finally fall. But what waits inside Jerusalem is far more terrifying than arrows and spears.
Attacked in the savage dark, Cutnose wakes with his throat torn out and something ancient crawling through his veins. He is no longer simply a soldier for hire. He is a pawn in the Noctis Bellum — an immortal war older than the Crusades itself — fought between a secret Order and the creatures they call the Hunted, over a relic of power neither side will surrender.
To reclaim his humanity, Cutnose must hunt down the man who turned him. With a secretive band of warriors at his side and enemies on every front, he crawls deeper into the shadows of a world he never knew existed — where the line between monster and man is razor thin, and loyalty is paid for in blood.
Gray heroes. Savage treachery. Valor and betrayal in equal measure.
Oaths of Blood is grimdark historical fantasy in the tradition of Joe Abercrombie, Bernard Cornwell, and John Gwynne — action-packed, brutal, and impossible to put down.
Only oaths made in blood survive.

Author Bio:
Logan is the author of the grimdark historical fantasy The Oaths of Blood Saga.
A lifelong traveler, he has visited over 50 countries for both for work and for pleasure. Lifted in Arnold’s childhood gym in Austria, asked his wife to marry him in an abandoned castle in Ireland, bartered for jewelry in a Kuwaiti souk, drank beers and sang quite poorly German songs at Oktoberfest in Munich, and burned a Viking ship during Hogmanay in Edinburgh.
Fantasy, historical fiction, and history novels dominate his library. In particular, the works of George R.R. Martin, Steven Pressfield, Bernard Cornwell, and Robert Jordan inspire his work. He currently resides in Virginia, a place with enough history to keep him busy until the end of time, with his wife, son and daughter, and a dog named Ronin the Barbarian.
If he has free time, which is rare, he throws axes (usually at targets), is physically active, and loves taking his family on adventures.
And he’s convinced his nieces he’s a werewolf…
