If you could gain the power of the gods by drinking their blood, would you do it? What if it cost you your mind?
Years ago, Alverick, member of the King's Guard, took the risk. For him, it worked and he was blessed with the earthy powers of the gods, but it came at a cost. As the years passed, he's come closer and closer to losing his sanity. 
Now that the city of Pharn is threatened by a young upstart, he struggles with his duty to protect his people against the enemy, and himself.
However, the gods can't be separated from their blood forever.

Growing up, she often found herself immersed in some imaginary world, conquering enemy nations, and saving the day. As time went on, her love for horrible puns and nerd culture pulled her out of these worlds and brought her back to reality. It wasn't until she started working at her office job that she felt the itch to begin writing. Her debut novel, King's Blood, was released in 2018. It is the first of a high fantasy series drawing on her love of ancient Mediterranean mythology and epic fantasy. A native of Sacramento, California, K.N. Nguyen spends her time singing karaoke, playing taiko, enjoying rhythm dancing games, and travelling with her friends and family when she isn't writing.
