The Blood of a King: Book One of the Rahmirion Chronicles - Hardcover

Victory was only the beginning.

Young prince Mayson Karrok of Astymere grew up hearing countless stories from the night of his birth: whispers of murder and betrayal; of war and destruction, all at the hands of an emperor who wanted him dead before he could take his first breath. A night meant to bring a peaceful conclusion to the Endless War would become known across the world as the Night of Knives. The scar he bears on his chest is a reminder of just how lucky he is to be alive.

But over a decade after his father, King Henry, killed that emperor and destroyed his empire, Mayson finds himself fighting to find his own way, fueled by the desire to both follow in his father's footsteps, and to break free from his shadow to forge his own destiny.

Unbeknownst to Mayson, his father set in motion a chain of events that would come to rule his destiny. When he is forced to choose between love and duty, will Mayson have the will to do what is right? For Mayson will need all the strength he can muster as enemies begin to surround him, both from outside Astymere, and from within.
