The Crown of Omens (The Blood and Steel Saga #0.5) - Paperback

When the sun bleeds and dusk sets, the king will die come morning...

On the churning waves of the Icebreaker Sea, black-masted galleons appear at the walls of Casantri's harbour under the cover of night. The palace keep looms large against the moon; the quiet city streets lie still and peaceful.

And then thunder cracks, and cannon fire sets the harbour ablaze, as the greatest nation the world has known crumbles before them in the dark, besieged by an enemy on the hunt for revenge.

Tarraz, the ancient foe and former colony of Provenci, have amassed power under a mysterious new leader and make plans for a coming war. A war of gods and men alike, that will tear the world apart at its seams and bring a wave of suffering to thousands.

And it is a war that begins, when a pale figure slips ashore that fateful night, in search of a broken redemption and the famed Crown of Omens.

For the end of the world had come, and the ruin of man will follow...
