Wandering mercenary Eutau Vidal promised his dying sister that he would care for her child—an infant with dark, dangerous powers.

Will Eutau find meaning in the promise he reluctantly made, or will he turn his back on the innocent?

To Nurture & Kill is a tale of love and loss, the story of one man’s search for meaning amid the ashes of hatred. It is the standalone prequel to The Deadbringer, the first book in The Ellderet Series.

Gritty heroes, blood-soaked promises, and family bonds put to the test. Logan meets The Mandalorian in this "expansive, edgy" tale of love and loss. (Kirkus Reviews)
