Description
The third book in the Empire of the Stars series.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Startlingly good—original characters and an utterly engrossing story."
They have survived the war, the devils, and each other. Now they face the long cold of winter…and the clamoring ghosts of a bloody legacy.
It began with a summer of devils.
No. It began with seven years of war, and a valley left in ruins after a century of violence.
Or perhaps even earlier, with the first life Remin took at thirteen years old, because he was determined to live when the Divine Emperor commanded he should die.
But as the ragged survivors of his outlying villages begin to arrive, Remin must reckon with the cost of his own life, even as threats grow against the people he loves. And as the coils of Imperial intrigue tighten, a virulent fever sweeps through Tresingale. Among the first to fall: Remin himself.
It leaves his young wife Ophele to take command of a town under siege, testing her fragile strength against fever, fear, and worse foes that lurk unseen. Family secrets stretch beyond the grave, threatening to detonate everything they have, and a knife from the capital seeks the very heart of Tresingale.
Even for those who survive the winter, their lives will never be the same.
Last of His Blood is the third book in Empire of the Stars, a romantic epic fantasy of enduring love, dangerous secrets, and deathless loyalty.
Begin the series with Traitor Son and discover a love that could redeem an Empire.

A Note From the Publisher
While YA and New Adult readers may enjoy the Empire of the Stars series, it was written with an adult audience in mind.
Advance Praise
"I have read dozens of romantasies and enjoyed many of them. But this one touched me. No contrived betrayals. No titanic tantrums. No overdone apologies. An entrancing slow burn journey to true love." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"A gripping tale of resilience, romance, and the complexities of rebuilding a legacy tarnished by betrayal...a captivating read that leaves the reader eagerly anticipating the next chapter in Remin and Ophele's journey." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Wow. What a gem. This is not the story of a long, brutal, grueling war, but everything that comes after. Rebuilding, starting anew, and creating a vision of the future." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"This book was wonderful. It's somehow a beautiful, slowburn romance; a cozy fantasy; and a story with high stakes...There is so much love and warmth within this found family." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I was looking for something different after reading what felt like dozens of reiterations of the same characters in popular romantasies. I was missing the epic feeling of classic fantasy, but still wanted a romance to swoon over. My search brought me to Traitor Son. From the beginning, it grabbed me by the heart...By the end, I felt as if I had lived alongside them, even though it only took me 2 days to read it." ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
