I thought I'd already paid for my sins.
I was wrong.
War has found me again, and this time there's nowhere left to run.
Everything I've fought to leave behind is crumbling around me. The empire I built with blood is under attack, the people I love have become targets, and the men I once trusted are hiding the darkest betrayals of all.
In my world, loyalty is bought with blood... and betrayal is always paid for in full.
Now I'm forced to make one final choice.
Walk away and lose everything... or reclaim the throne I swore I'd never sit on again.
Because in the end, there are only two ways out of this life.
A grave...
Or a crown.
