From award-winning Korean author Sung-il Kim & translated by the world-renowned Anton Hur, Blood of the Old Kings begins an epic journey unlike any other.
There is no escaping the Empire.
Even in death, you will serve.
In an Empire run on necromancy, dead sorcerers are the lifeblood. Their corpses are wrapped in chains and drained of magic to feed the unquenchable hunger for imperial conquest.
Born with magic, Arienne has become resigned to her dark fate. But when the voice of a long-dead sorcerer begins to speak inside her head, she listens. There may be another future for her, if she's willing to fight for it.
Miles away, beneath a volcano, a seven-eyed dragon also wears the Empire's chains. Before the imperial fist closed around their lands, it was the people's sacred guardian.
Loran, a widowed swordswoman, is the first to kneel before the dragon in decades. She comes with a desperate plea, and will leave with a sword of dragon-fang in hand and a great purpose before her.
In the heart of the Imperial capital, Cain is known as a man who gets things done. When his best friend and mentor is found murdered, he will leave no stone unturned to find those responsible, even if it means starting a war.
Step into a world of necromancy, murder, and twisted magic. A world in need of a hero.

The beginning of a fantastic journey
The Blood of the Old Kings introduces a fantasy world which has been overrun by a power-hungry empire, powered by necromancy. Where many countries and kings once resided, the empire has brought oppression and death. Dragons and old gods have been slain or enslaved. A widow sets out to ask the last living dragon for the power to defeat her enemies. Her wish is granted. But she has to discover that a powerful empire can't be overthrown by just a single person. This book follows 3 different characters, each on their own journey but all of them under the oppression of the empire. This story offers a very interesting take on magic systems, dragons and what it means to be a king of the people. I had a great time reading this book, even though the magic was sometimes a little confusing. The characters were unique and fleshed-out, and the conversations and conflicts were interesting to follow. The ending was a little abrupt, but there are two more books to continue this story and there are still many loose ends and prophecies to be fulfilled. I'm looking forward to continue this story.
