Their corpses are wrapped in chains and drained of magic to feed the unquenchable hunger for imperial conquest.\n\n\n\nBorn with magic, Arienne has become resigned to her dark fate. But when the voice of a long-dead sorcerer begins to speak inside her head, she listens. There may be another future for her, if she’s willing to fight for it.\n\n\n\nMiles away, beneath a volcano, a seven-eyed dragon also wears the Empire’s chains. Before the imperial fist closed around their lands, it was the people’s sacred guardian.\n\n\n\nLoran, a widowed swordswoman, is the first to kneel before the dragon in decades. She comes with a desperate plea, and will leave with a sword of dragon-fang in hand and a great purpose before her.\n\n\n\nIn the heart of the Imperial capital, Cain is known as a man who gets things done. When his best friend and mentor is found murdered, he will leave no stone unturned to find those responsible, even if it means starting a war.\n\n\n\n\u003cb\u003eStep into a world of necromancy, murder, and twisted magic. A world in need of a hero.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tor Publishing Group, 2024","offers":[{"title":"Blood of the Old Kings \/ Very Good","offer_id":67674403406116,"sku":"9781250895332VG","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/9868253482633.jpg?v=1791769507","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9781250895332","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
