Lady Blade Short Stories

Francesca and I have sort of grown up together. Here are some stories I wrote that take place before the start of my first novel in The Lady Blade Series, The Maestro's Daughter. I've put them in order of her age so you can see her grow up too.

My Brave Girl
(Francesca's birth during a pirate battle)

Francesca's First Blade
(She turns seven and steals her first blade)

Signore Dampier
(Francesca runs away from home at eight)

Francesca and the Baron's Son
(She gets in a fight at age eleven)

Catalina Comes to the Salle
(Francesca gets a best friend at age twelve)
