Ian Troy is one of the Shinree, a fallen people with an inherent addiction to magic. Scorned and reviled for the deadly side of their spells, the Shinree are bred as slaves. Their magic is suppressed by drugs and used only as it serves the purposes of the other races.
Descended from a long line of soldiers, Ian is conscripted into the Rellan army and made to fight in their longstanding conflict against the ruthless Langorian invaders. The downfall of Rella imminent, Ian goes against orders and turns to the Crown of Stones, an ancient Shinree relic of untold power. Ignorant of its true purpose, Ian uses the crown to end the war, and pays a terrible price.
A decade later, still tortured by the aftermath of that day, Ian lives as a bounty hunter in self-imposed exile. Having renounced his magical heritage, he curbs his obsession with a steady stream of wine and regret. He struggles to put it all behind him, until a fateful encounter with a pretty assassin brings Ian’s past crashing into the present. Targeted by a rogue Shinree, and a ruthless old enemy, Ian is forced to use magic again. His deadly addiction is rekindled and his life of isolation is brought to a swift end.
With the land he gave up everything to protect once more in jeopardy, and his people’s future at stake, Ian becomes embroiled in a violent race for control of the Crown of Stones. To save the realms and those he cares for, Ian must embrace the thing he fears most: his own power.

At the same time, he incites the Prince of Castia to enter into a civil war to prevent a coup from dethroning him. The only ally the Castian have is the Crescent Moon Knights of Bardynn. Vespias is made aware of this new threat that will destroy her home. With a firm commitment by the Regent of Tiran towards democracy, she assembles her own allies, the Junin and the Gar'vothian armies to add to Salaris' army in Navvas.
However, as if the threat of Romero and a civil war was not enough of a problem for the Huntress, a mysterious cult rises in the southern jungles of Gemmal. This "Cult of the Blood Moon" will draw the fierce Gyrnnalli warriors into a battle that might just aid Romero's release after all. Vespias must now coordinate attacks on three fronts in her own lands as well as one across the seas. While she must do all of this to insure Romero remains in his self-made prison, she must also battle the inner demons she still carries that manifest in her flasks of spirits that lead to far too many drunken nights.
Blood Moon Sacrifice is a thrilling return to the lives of Vespias and her family. Their world is revealed a little more and maps are now included so that you, the reader, can look at the places and see what Vespias, her allies and her enemies see.
