Blood King - Part I - Nicola Tyche

\nHe doesn't want the throne. He wants revenge.\n \nA new crown. An old wound. And a reckoning written in blood.\n \n \n \nA kingdom built of pain...\n \nRaised a fighter in Rael's brutal bloodsport arena, Cyrus has only ever known survival-until one act of defiance topples a tyrant, and one vow of vengeance sparks a revolution. Now, he's the man a broken realm looks to for hope.\n \n\n \nA power he can't control...\n \nHaunted by his past and driven by revenge, Cyrus grapples with a power that has cursed him since he was a child-a power he doesn't understand. A sharp-tongued witch offers a bargain, but her motives are unclear. Trust is dangerous, and so is she.\n \n\n \nA throne he didn't ask for...\n \nCrowned in chaos, Cyrus is thrust into a world of politics, power, and war. New enemies rise. Old ghosts return. And while vengeance may have earned him the throne...\n \nIt's not enough to keep it.\n \n\n
