By Kim Il Sung

"A must-read series for epic fantasy lovers."--Library Journal

The fate of the world will be decided in Blood to the True Crown, the epic conclusion to the Bleeding Empire trilogy, from award-winning Korean author Sung-il Kim and translated by the world-renowned Anton Hur.

The Empire faces a reckoning that could destroy the world itself.
But hope can be found even in the darkest despair.

Chaos reigns after the fateful decision to unleash the weapon known as the Star of Mersia, and a pervasive, deadly new magic wreaks devastation across the Empire.

When Arienne discovers the origin of this sinister magic, her sole purpose becomes to stop its spread. But this mission will bring her into the very heart of The Empire and test everything she has learned as a sorcerer.

Meanwhile, Loran has sworn to bring true freedom to Arland, but the Empire's hold over the people is too strong. When she finds an unlikely ally, Loran will have to decide what she is willing to do in the name of freedom.

Join the battle to win a new destiny, but do not lose yourself to the fight.
