By Right Of Blood

Alebrath is the last sanctuary of free men, a hidden world carved into the earth. Untouched by the decadent empire that has swallowed everything above it. Kraken has lived his whole life inside its stone walls. When his chance to see the surface comes, he takes it. He loses almost everything in the taking. Alone on the surface for the first time, enslaved and hunted through a world that has long since written mankind off, a world that believes man to be in his dying throes, Kraken begins the slow, brutal work of becoming someone who cannot be ignored. A man forged not by destiny or birthright, but by sheer, ugly refusal to break. What starts as survival becomes something larger. Somewhere beyond the forest with the crimson river, beyond the volcanic wastes, beyond an empire that wears the language of brotherhood like a mask over something rotten, lies the road to mankind's reclamation. Its birthright. Its dominion. To everything that was taken from man.
