It’s all about blood.
The blood spilled between Mareen and the armies of the Blood Emperor.
The blood gifts of Mareen’s deadliest enemies.
The blood that runs through the elite War Houses of Mareen, the rulers of the
Tribunal dedicated to keeping the republic alive.
The blood of the former Legatus, Verne Amari, murdered.
For his granddaughter, Ikenna, the only thing steady in her life was her the man
who had saved Mareen. The man who had trained her in secret, not just in martial
skills, but in harnessing the blood gift that coursed through her. Who trained her to
keep that a secret.
But now there are too many secrets, and with her grandfather assassinated, Ikenna
knows two things: that only someone on the Tribunal could have ordered his
death, and that only a Praetorian Guard could have carried out that order.
Bent on revenge as much as the truth, Ikenna pledges herself to the Praetorian
Trials—a brutal initiation that only a quarter of the aspirants survive.
She subjects herself to the racism her half-Khanaian heritage and the misogyny of a
society that cherishes progeny over prodigy, all while hiding a power that—if found
out—would subject her to executiong…or worse. Ikenna is willing to risk it all
because she needs to nd out who murdered her grandfather…and then she needs
to kill them.
Magic and technology converge in the first part of this stunning debut duology,
where loyalty to oneself—and one’s blood—is more important than anything.
Mareen has been at peace for a long time. Ikenna joining the Praetorians is about
to change all that.
