The Blood Curse

Those who drink the water shall thirst for blood. They shall be as wild beasts.

A blood curse is consuming the Seven Kingdoms. Only one man can stop it-fugitive Osgaardan prince, Harkeld. But Harkeld has a bounty on his head and assassins at his heels. Guarded by Sentinel mages, pursued by Fithian assassins, Prince Harkeld begins the most perilous stage of his journey: entering the cursed kingdom of Sault.

But the mages aren't the only travelers heading east. Princess Brigitta, abducted by Fithian assassins, is also bound for Sault-unless she can escape. And in close pursuit is her loyal armsman, Karel.

Young orphan, Jaum , is also headed for Sault, where he will be forced to make decisions that will change the fate of the Seven Kingdoms forever.
