KING OF RUIN. KING OF DUST AND SHADOWS. KING OF DEATH. HE WILL RULE ALL. THE KING IS COMING. Marith Altrersyr – father-killer, dragonlord, leader of the blood-soaked Amrath Army – is keeping his promises. He is determined to become King of all Irlast and take back the seat of his ancestors. Only Thalia, once high priestess of the Lord of Living and Dying, the holiest woman in the Empire, might stop Marith and his army’s deadly march. But she is torn between two destinies – and if she was to return home, what would she fi nd there? A city on the brink of ruin: diseased, despairing, dying? Crawling through a tunnel deep under the ruins of her city, Landra Relast vows vengeance. Her family has been burned, her home destroyed, and now Marith – once her betrothed – must die. But as Landra cuts through the wasteland left in the wake of Marith’s army, she finds that she is not the only one who wishes him ill…
Marith Altrersyr, a ruthless warlord and dragonlord, embarks on a brutal campaign to conquer Irlast and reclaim his ancestral throne. His path of destruction is met with resistance from Thalia, a former high priestess, and Landra Relast, a woman seeking vengeance for her destroyed home and family, who finds herself allied with others who wish Marith dead. The narrative unfolds across a war-torn empire, exploring themes of destiny, revenge, and the cost of power, with multiple perspectives shaping the unfolding conflict.
The premise sets up a dark and epic fantasy narrative, focusing on brutal warfare and complex characters driven by revenge and ambition. The inclusion of dragons and a dying empire suggests a world steeped in conflict and grim themes. The narrative structure, with multiple viewpoints, indicates a broad scope, likely exploring the far-reaching consequences of Marith's campaign. The story appears to delve into the moral ambiguities of power and the personal costs of war.
