Blood and Mercy
Blood of Titans: Restored II

​Saving the world may have doomed them all
Keplan reels in the wake of grief and guilt at the blood on his hands. Outside the city walls, however, winter grows fiercer and droughts longer. Alea reforged the fractured world twenty years before--so why is it withering before his eyes? Then, just as he masters being a monarch, a prophet arrives spouting scripture about a One True God. Keplan’s own mother killed the last gods, yet this one matches his description perfectly--and its wrath is about to fall upon Athrolan.

Isolated within the same cold, marble walls as Athrolan’s murderous king, Rih struggles to plot her rebellion leagues away from everything she has ever known. With an unexpected ally, she may have finally found a way to the Mirikin Hetmir--until tragedy strikes. With religious fanatics at their walls, blight in their fields, and a king floundering from addiction, Athrolan spirals out of control.

​Now Rih must choose between a mad king’s life and her own revolution.

Reviews and Awards

"The series excels in using allegory to mirror contemporary issues and explore them in a unique, thoughtful manner. Frustration, hope and the transformative power of righteous fury ooze from the pages leading to the finale, and it’s cathartic to see how much of the societal commentary ends on an optimistic note...The underlying optimism of the series, balanced with unflinching realism regarding the difficulty of change at personal and systemic levels, is a testament to the possibilities of the fantasy genre—and a worthy read for our times."
- Aurealis Magazine

"Again, the atmosphere surrounding Holmes’ saga is mesmerizing, enhancing the credibility of this fantasy tale. And that quality – related in eloquent and imaginative prose – suffuses every aspect of this installment...The thunder grows more loud and the passion more rich with each novel."
- Grady Harp, The San Francisco Review of Books
