New Book Alert! The Claimed Realm Book 3 Blood of the Kingdom is Out Now!

August 22, 2025 by Marc Edelheit Leave a Comment

Blood of the Kingdom (The Claimed Realm Book 3) — Out Today!

The grand finale of The Claimed Realm trilogy is here — and it’s nothing short of epic! Blood of the Kingdom delivers the explosive conclusion you’ve been waiting for, blending military fantasy, intrigue, and mythic power in a captivating tale.

Why you will love it!

  • A world on the edge of chaos: Alaric may have won his battle, but the war is far from over. As he grapples with his newly revealed ancient bloodline, he becomes the fulcrum upon which the fate of Kevahn—and perhaps the world—depends.
  • Allies and enemies collide: With Rikka, a legendary elven lumina, at his side, Alaric faces mistrust, broken alliances, and a king who may now see him as a rival rather than a vassal.
  • Destiny vs. loyalty: As betrayal lurks around every corner, Alaric must choose: uphold his oath or embrace a legacy that could reshape history.
​

This trilogy is an ideal weekend binge—three immersive books crafted with intense action, strategy, and richly drawn characters. Everything you have come to love about Marc’s writing!

Forged in Battle is here! Ebook, Print & Audio!

July 25, 2025 by Marc Edelheit Leave a Comment

Dear Legion,

I just wanted to take a moment to talk about something I’m really proud of. Forged in Battle and Shadow War—the first two books in my Command Decision series—are, in my opinion, some of the best work I’ve ever done. I am not blowing smoke here… this series is something special, very much like Stiger’s Tigers.

I listened to the first chapter of the audiobook and just had one of those wow moments… “I can’t believe I wrote this…” It came out that good. If you haven’t checked this series out yet, now is the perfect time.

My editor and the incredible team at Second Sky (Hachette) are awesome. They’ve been unbelievably supportive and instrumental in helping me take my writing to the next level. They’re also working hard to grow this series and get it in front of new readers—which, as you probably know, is no easy feat these days.

Even if science fiction isn’t normally your thing, I’d love it if you gave this series a try—in audio, print, or ebook. I truly believe it’s something special and I am asking you to pick it up!

And if you have read Forged in Battle already and enjoyed it, would you consider leaving a review on Amazon? It makes a huge difference in helping the book gain visibility and reach more readers.

As always, thank you for your support. I couldn’t do this without you.

All the best,
Marc

A little about the book!

On a routine diplomatic mission, Captain Jaxon Steele’s ship is orbiting a war-torn planet when the entire system erupts in rebellion. Missiles smash into Ranger’s shields. Communications are jammed. Enemy warships are closing in fast… Ranger is an advanced destroyer—fast, stealthy, and armed to the teeth—but she wasn’t built for heavy fighting, and a rebel battleship would tear her to shreds. Steele will need all his trickery and tactical genius to survive the first strike.

​
​But survival is not enough. A vast enemy fleet is lurking somewhere in the system. Only Ranger can locate it and prevent a catastrophic defeat. Steele knows his duty… He begins a deadly game of hunter and hunted across the rebel system, knowing that any mistake will be his last. Can his leadership, daring, and resolve turn the tide of the war?

Forged in Battle – Get Ready for a Wild Ride!

July 25, 2025 by Marc Edelheit Leave a Comment

I’m very excited to announce that the first book in my Command Decision series, Forged in Battle, is out now! Forged in Battle is an entertaining, page-turning book with characters that are a blast to write!

I don’t want to give too much away, but here’s a glimpse at some of the early praise the book has received…

***** A gripping, gritty, and glorious military fantasy!

***** This book was an incredibly fun read. The space combat was engrossing, and the characters were well written…

***** Reads like a great Sci-Fi television series! I was able to visualize the entire storyline in vivid detail as the action unfolded.
