About The Specter of Empire

Warlords battling to subdue a continent …
An emperor seduced by world conquest …
A primal evil that lusts for total power …


Their war for the ultimate prize will shake the heavens and raise the specter of empire.
Bearing a divine mandate, Zebrin vows to rescue his young disciple’s enslaved mother. But when dark omens draw him into a palace coup, the novice priest finds himself hunted by vengeful monks, bewitched soldiers, and hideous princes of perdition.

Forced to choose between his god, his oath, and his friends, Zebrin’s soul hangs by a thread.

Only The Burned Book offers a glimmer of hope. But when his desperate quest receives unexpected aid from a sinister foe, can Zebrin keep cataclysmic secrets out of tyrants’ hands? Or will he hasten his people’s doom?
