Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne. Book 2. Fire Blood

The conspiracy to destroy the ruling family of Annur is far from over. The daughter of Emperor Ader, learning who exactly killed her father, is thrown into confusion. She decides to leave the Dawn Palace to find allies and challenge... those who plotted to overthrow the Malkenian dynasty. Few trust her, but under the auspices of the ancient goddess of light, Ader manages to gather an army under her banners. Meanwhile, at the border of the empire, countless hordes of warlike nomads are gathering, with whom a defector from an elite combat unit, Valin, Ader's brother, is conspiring. They both pursue a common goal—to avenge their father's death; however, a clash between them seems inevitable... Meanwhile, Kaden, the rightful heir to the Unhewn Throne, infiltrates the capital of the Annur Empire with the help of two strange companions. They possess special knowledge that could either save Annur or destroy it... "Fire Blood" is the second book in the trilogy "Chronicles of the Unhewn Throne."
