Blood For The Undying Throne - Release Date October 28, 2025

Blood for the Undying Throne, the sequel to Blood of the Old Kings by award-winning Korean author Sung-il Kim, translated by Anton Hur, is an epic fantasy adventure where the Empire enforces its so-called peace with massive war machines, crushing all opposition, yet resistance still rises from desperate odds. Emere, once rallying under Loran’s banner, is now a powerless politician in the Imperial Capital, but an assassination attempt draws him into sinister plots at the highest levels of power. Meanwhile, Arienne journeys across the continent to uncover the secrets of the Star of Mersia, a mysterious weapon that destroyed a nation in a single day, only to find that the supposedly lifeless land hides more than ruins. Centuries earlier, Yuma, a chief cattle herder in Mersia, dares to hope that the Empire might overthrow the ruthless Grim King Eldred, unaware that such an alliance will have consequences reverberating through the ages. Sacrifices must be made in the fight against tyranny, but some may prove too great. Praised for its thrilling, inventive storytelling, rich world-building, and high-stakes adventure, this sweeping fantasy explores the rise of ordinary people against a malevolent empire, filled with sorcery, vengeance, and epic battles.
