    About this ebook

    In this second installment in the Empire of Blood series, Hank Evans is headed back to Necropolis, but this time he won't be running for his life... or will he?

    Tensions between the American Empire and the vampires of Necropolis have risen to an all time high. With the Emperor threatening Toby's life, Hank's new position as the mediator has just been unofficially upgraded to Imperial spy. But his internal hunger for revenge and newfound sense of purpose can't stay hidden forever.

    Hank must now find a way to release the hold the Emperor has over him in order to fight back. But an unexpected struggle will put him at odds with who he really is and who he has yet to truly become. Especially when his dreams begin to reveal a terrifying future.

    And when the city of the dead goes up in flames, and the vampires of Necropolis are forced to flee to the Queen's hive, there is no turning back from civil war.

    "First-rate storytelling!"
    -Joe McKinney, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of FLESH EATERS and APOCALYPSE OF THE DEAD

    "Robert S. Wilson proves himself a master of the dark fantastic."
    -Tim Waggoner, author of LIKE DEATH and THE HARMONY SOCIETY

    "A writer on the rise, Robert S. Wilson's fiction is highly original, deftly written, and shows a refreshing commitment to (and respect for) craft and depth."
    -Greg F. Gifune, author, THE BLEEDING SEASON

    "Wilson is a dark force to be reckoned with."
    -Trent Zelazny, author of DESTINATION UNKNOWN and FRACTAL DESPONDENCY
