From debut author Mark Miller comes a gripping tale of a nation crumbling.
The once great kingdom of Alssae is now a shattered cluster of city states that struggle with their neighbors over their own pride, each consumed with rebellion and poisoned with tyranny. Trofaim, the old capital of kings, is now a hive of power for the politicians who perpetuate wars for personal gain.
The greatest key to peace, war, and profit in Alssae is held by those who control the city of Trofaim. For peace to be reestablished, it must begin in Trofaim. For the flames of war to reignite, it will begin in Trofaim.
A woman struggles through the pain of loss to preserve her own city. A retired war hero seeking peace on his farm is dragged back into the heated strife that fueled the bloody war he’s tried so hard to forget. A revolutionary finds himself fighting the rebellion he started alongside a man he previously sought to kill. All of whom must find their own way to overcome their current circumstances and all to come. For each of them.
In the tradition of C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia and the fantasy epics of J.R. Tolkien, Blood Alone is a sweeping adventure across a richly realized world of political intrigue, personal loss, and ultimately, redemption.

"What I really enjoyed about this book was the multiple POVs of events happening all parallel with each other. It really helped me get a firm grasp on what all sides were thinking and plotting so I was like 'ok, here we go, things are about to get messy!'. Also the little dash of magic/withcraft in the middle was very intriguing!"
