A Truth of Blood (Celestial Court Book 1)

NOTE: BOTH Introductory Novellas are included for free in this book: The Awakening and Looming Shadows. I wanted to make it easy for new readers to pick up and go. And I thought it would just be something nice to do for everyone. This is a hefty book, so if you’re preferring a smaller sampling size, you can still find both novellas as stand-alone works. A Truth of Blood represents the comprehensive first book. Enjoy!

Elestria is a world of powerful nations, great magic, and forgotten secrets. At the forefront of this power is the mighty nation of Hestasio, securing dominance thanks to their advanced rune technology, knights clad in high-steel armor, and the elite but shadowy special forces operatives known as Invectors.

A secret conflict brews, one puppeteered by mysterious individuals commanding seemingly impossible powers, everywhere and nowhere. The vile drug known as Vision is spreading across the land, wreaking havoc on any unfortunate enough to give in to its embrace. Whispers of blood-related diseases, and even the ability to talk with spirits surround it. But there is much more to this sinister drug than meets the eye.

Axios Alekta, a mercenary captain contracted by the Hestasion Frontier Defense Force — a mercenary army that oversees law and order in a stretch of territory known as the Frontier — is contracted to hunt down criminals peddling the drug. Axios will be forced into a conflict that even his own remarkable skills may not be enough to see him through.

Kaylen Saylus, also known by his other titles: The First Invector, The Wolf, and The Shadow. Hestasio’s most effective operative and leader of the Invector organization, now stuck behind a desk most of the day, will find himself embroiled in a conflict that threatens to shake the foundations of his country.

Kristiana Vanden, the leader of the mighty Sylverin Knights, armed with enchanted blade and plate, these legendary knights crush through their foes and represent the very best of Hestasion ideals. But Kristiana will find every one of her beliefs challenged as she must prove her mettle once more.

Ancient powers best left forgotten have stirred, and once awakened, they will not return to their slumber.

When the bones of creation refuse to stay buried, you must remember this oldest of truths: There’s always a balance, there’s always a sacrifice. – The Owl
