The Empire of Dust

By Dustin Gross

The empire is dying-and its enemies are done waiting. In a crumbling world of assassins, blood mages, rebel warlords, and hollow thrones, the fire has only just begun.

Talia Verelain was born to a noble house. Now she's returned with a blade and a vendetta.

Branded a traitor and presumed dead, Talia infiltrates the heart of a dying empire to assassinate the man who destroyed her family. But vengeance is just the beginning.

Across a continent ruled by rot, others begin to rise.

- A boy-emperor sharpening his mind into a weapon.
- A warlord of ash rallying the forsaken tribes.
- A bloodbinder hunted by inquisitors and her own past.
- And a mercenary too broken to kneel, but too dangerous to ignore.

Power is cracking. Loyalties are shifting. And in the dust of a once-great empire, a new fire is kindling.

This is not the fall of an empire. This is its dissection-with a knife forged from vengeance.
