Forged is the third book in Overmyer's Blade and Bone series. Verve is meant to rule and unite the mortal and magical realms. There are several challenges standing in her way, however. Dacre, her former captor and greatest enemy, seeks to set up a kingdom with himself crowned as king and Verve as his queen. That is, until Verve tumbles through a portal leading to a realm from which there are no known means of escape. Now not only must she discover how to conquer a fae more powerful than she, Verve must also find a way home without being eaten by wyverns or losing her magic to a crafty siphon. The Blade & Bone trilogy follows Verve as she navigates a world full of out of control magic and temperamental fae. 'Brittle', 'Tempered Glass' and 'Forged' all intricately weave together fantasy and folklore to create an altogether thrilling and unforgettable experience for readers. AUTHOR: Beth Overmyer was born and raised near Oberlin, Ohio, and she hasn't moved far since. One of Beth's greatest inspirations for her writing is found in the author J.R.R. Tolkien, especially his fantasy novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Other literary heroes include Brandon Sanderson, Agatha Christie, Jane Austen, Douglas Adams, and Neil Gaiman. When not writing, Beth can be found reading fantasy novels, cozy mysteries, and non-fiction. She has also volunteered at her local public library as a creative writing club leader. Most of Beth's education was at home, taught by her mother and various moms in P.A.T.H. and N.iC.H.E., two homeschool groups that met at churches in northern Ohio. After high school, Beth attended a community college, studying theater. She decided that the written word was more her style, so after taking a few courses, Beth took to writing as her career.
