Kingdom of Blood — Nick S. Thomas

The first volume in the epic new fantasy series tells the tragic story of revenge, hatred and war that has dragged a great Kingdom into ruin. A tale of conflict, of ambition and betrayal. A new invasion is about to begin and few of the nobles have the stomach for battle. It is left for a brave few to fight for their beliefs, for their families, and for each other. The survival of the Kingdom will fall on the most unlikely of warriors and for the hero who will lead them. Set in a world scarred by bitter hatred after a thousand years of conflict, Kingdom of Blood tells of the deeds of men and women locked in battle and the terrible price that must be paid for victory.
