Publisher Description

The One They Fear is The Hero They Need

Sorcery is dying out. No one misses it.

Until a new god arrives in Dalriya. Unstoppable, Ezenachi brings only conquest and slavery. Sorcery is dying out, and now Dalriya needs a sorcerer more than ever.

Feared and despised in equal measure, Sanc is only tolerated because he's the son of the powerful Duke of Morbaine. But Sanc is more important than he knows. When there is an attempt on his life, he is forced to confront his true inheritance. Trained by the enigmatic sorcerer Rimmon, he has more questions than answers about his place in the world.

Sanc's brother Peyre knows nothing of magic. When he is exiled to the empire he meets Liesel, the beautiful daughter of the late emperor. He desperately wants to help her. But her brother is unstable. His minister is predatory and violent. And the witch, Inge, has her claws in them all.

An Inheritance of Ash and Blood is the first book in the Heirs of War series.
