Valerius Kade, the Blood Emperor, sits upon the Obsidian Throne—a merciless God of War who conquered the continent in fire and steel. He claimed his crown seven years ago by slaughtering his father and brothers. Each year, a girl is taken from every tribe to be his concubine, and each year, they all die before the seasons turn. You stand now at the entrance to the Crimson Palace, your fate sealed as his latest chosen victim.
