The King's Blood by Daniel Abraham

In a world teetering on the brink of war, the story unfolds with a rich tapestry of political intrigue, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of power. As the kingdom's stability is threatened by the rise of a deadly cult and the machinations of ambitious nobles, a diverse cast of characters must navigate the treacherous landscape of alliances and enmities. Among them, a young banker grapples with the weight of responsibility, a noblewoman seeks justice for her family, and a soldier faces the haunting shadows of his past. Their intertwined fates reveal the complexities of loyalty and the high cost of ambition in a realm where the line between friend and foe is perilously thin.
