Ghostblood: A Tale of the Twin Worlds (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798316900312)

In the Empire of Mathklyr, tradition is law, and the will of Oinrin-goddess of fate and death-is said to shape every life. At the sacred ceremony of adulthood, Alric Ingeist claims the path of a soldier, seeking power and glory within Mathklyr's rigid hierarchy. Elis Allin Aeronis, unwilling to bow to the empire's customs, makes a declaration that should be impossible-one that leads to her disgrace and exile.

As years pass, Alric's ambitions lead him down a road he never expected, while Elis, fleeing Mathklyr, risks death or worse as her life takes a turn beyond imagination. But fate is not so easily denied. When she returns, it is with dangerous knowledge and a task that could shake the empire to its core.

Their paths cross again in a moment of blood and upheaval, setting events into motion that neither of them could have foreseen. In the depths of the ancient necropolis-where emperors are crowned and destinies are sealed-they will discover what lies at the heart of Mathklyr... and the truth written in the Book of Oinrin-Laurel.
