A Queen In Blood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781068291920)

Not all heroes carry swords...

As the invasion of Brandshold begins, the realm is haunted by the Infected ‒ devastated and spirit-poisoned townsfolk who hunger for flesh and souls to salve their pain. When the city of Jense falls to a wave of bloody teeth and foul claws, the Constructor's Emperor strikes, shattering city walls with his newly awakened artifice dragon, and the dreaded Kraken soulship.

Forced to turn to the reviled Unspoken, the queen sends her army to rescue the heretic city of Anvil, while the Seven Houses finally reveal their soul-magic to defend the realm.

For a queen bathed in the blood of her own people, hope lies in the alchemy of the meisters, a traitorous mechanical dragon, and loyal but broken soldiers.

Yet Sura retains faith in Laoch, believing he will return with a weapon like no other, as the final battle for the souls of the realm nears its catastrophic end.

For peace can only be forged by the spirits of the fallen.
