WHERE MAGICK FAILS, INDUSTRY PREVAILS

The battle for the Eye of the Sea has been won, but a war that started in Heaven has spread to all four corners of the known world.

Renata Rainer, once a lowly ambassadorial aide, now leads the Sovan effort to forge the nations of the globe into an alliance that can stand against Hell's legions. While she seeks aid from the Sky Nation of Tenger, Captain Laine hopes to harness the arcane expertise of the Tsukumese Shogunate. Both will find societies as treacherous and divided as their own.

Lyzander, meanwhile, must brave the depths of the afterlife in search of a weapon that can defeat a Prince of Hell. The price of failure will be far more than his immortal soul.

As Count von Oldenburg unleashes a reign of chaos in Sova, and demonic hordes swarm across entire continents, Renata's fragile alliance of human and hybrid nations faces a stark choice:

Stand and fight together, or watch the world fall.

Blood Dynasty is the final novel in the Great Silence trilogy from Sunday Times bestselling author Richard Swan - a dark flintlock fantasy filled with epic adventure, arcane mysteries and creeping dread.
