Publisher's blurb:
In the Sombre Plains all know of sacrifice. From blood to steel there are none here who have not paid something of themselves. It is little wonder then, that as the blood flows so too does the Gift. Unto all those who are worthy. All those who pay the cost. The blood tariff is the law. The time has now come for the rising of the blood, so sayeth the Fell King of Sanguinity’s Path. Never in the history of Urathun’s shrouded legend has a more powerful and bloodthirsty seeker stalked the land, but not in search of coin or territory. The Fell King seeks only the clarity of crimson delight. The Known World has dreaded this day, but the worthy among the Gifted have waited in bloodthirsty anticipation for it’s arrival. Now stepping forth from the Sombre Plains the Fell King and his loyal Gifted ascend. None are safe, from peasant to Pariun.
The choices are scant when the Fell King’s banner is in view. Embrace the night, or suffer as the herd. The day of the blood tariff is here.
