Five hundred years after his murder, Lazarus Cross wakes in a ruined crypt with no memories and a thirst for blood. Oh, and a beautiful baroness who insists he was once king. But before he can demand answers, a corrupt baron’s men capture him.
At Crimson Keep, Lazarus is thrown into the fighting pits. Unfortunately for the baron, every victory restores his ancient blood magic and wins him powerful new allies. Several of the women he meets there desire to see him rise, though their interest isn’t entirely political.
His victories earn Lazarus an offer from the baron: find the woman who resurrected him, and win his freedom. Lazarus is eager to find her, too, but for a very different reason. It won’t be easy, though. A vampire captain is hunting her, and the road is crawling with monsters. With his power returning and new companions at his side, Lazarus intends to reach the baroness first—then reclaim Crimson Keep from the creatures who stole it.
Long live the king. Again.
