Blood of the Kingdom
Alaric has won the battle—but not the war. As the dust settles and the dead are buried, whispers of prophecy rise. The blood of a fallen empire flows in his veins, and with it, the weight of an impossible destiny. Once content to rule his quiet earldom, and honor his king, Alaric now finds himself the fulcrum upon which the future of Kevahn—and the world—will turn or perhaps even fight against.
But loyalty is no shield. With his ancient bloodline revealed and Rikka—an elven lumina of myth and holy power—at his side, Alaric must contend with suspicious lords, broken alliances, and a king who may now see him as a rival and challenger instead of a loyal vassal. As tensions mount and betrayal looms, Alaric must decide whether to stand by his oath… or embrace the legacy that could reshape the world.
Blood of the Kingdom is the explosive conclusion to The Claimed Realm trilogy—an epic blend of military fantasy, political intrigue, and mythic power. Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Joe Abercrombie, and Raymond E. Feist.
