Synopsis
Blood of Empire follows three interconnected storylines as the war against the Dynize invasion reaches its climax. Michel Bravis, a spy embedded within the enemy government, races to prevent Dynize forces from harnessing the power of an unlocked Godstone that could turn the tide of the entire conflict, while Ben Styke leads a decimated force of Mad Lancers on a desperate invasion after his fleet is destroyed by storms at sea. Lady Vlora Flint, blinded by overuse of powder magic and emotionally fractured from the battles that came before, must nonetheless lead the Adran army against Dynize's most formidable military commander in a fight for Fatrasta's very survival.
