Grave of the ancient blood

Following a brutal, coordinated coup by House Vaneer that leaves the southern garrison in ruins, 18-year-old military prodigy Oza and rebel noblewoman Lyra are forced into the high, unforgiving frontier of the Whispering Ridge. Believed dead by the corrupt high lords who ordered the purge, Oza carries a volatile, dormant bloodline that sings whenever the mountain air turns cold, while Lyra harbors dangerous secrets of her own while the high courts think she is merely a runaway.

Rather than running or bowing to a new crown, the pair chooses a path of calculated psychological warfare. When House Vaneer dispatches the elite Iron Tread regiment to hunt them down, Oza and Lyra dismantle the royal vanguard hand to-hand without relying on mythic beasts or magic, sending a bloody, unbroken survivor back down the mountain with a chilling message. As whispers spread through the courts of a new, unidentified power rising from the dead zones, Oza and Lyra prepare to turn the tables on the high kingdoms transforming from hunted fugitives into the architects of a complete regime collaps
