Description
A kingdom has fallen. A dynasty lies broken. But the blood of kings is not so easily extinguished.
When Richard Fell conquers Westerden, its king is slain, its dragons fall, and a dynasty that has ruled for generations is brought to ruin.
Jack Root, a soldier who barely escapes the slaughter, flees north with his family, only to discover that his fate is bound to the very crown that has fallen.
In the kingdom of Dunmarch, Queen Agnes Vane refuses to bow to the conqueror. Far to the east, Queen Amara of Avarenne prepares for war, while Richard Fell seeks to extend his dominion beyond the kingdom he has taken.
As old loyalties fracture, rival ambitions rise, and forgotten secrets begin to stir, the fate of kingdoms hangs upon choices yet to be made.
For crowns may be taken, but blood is not so easily forgotten.
The Blood That Remains is Book One of The Reckoning of Crowns, an epic-fantasy saga of power, betrayal, ancient legacies and the struggle for dominion.
