Blood & Fur

Iztac is a penniless orphan, yet the gods—or cruel fate—have named him emperor of Yohuachanca. For one year, he’ll feast on delicacies, luxuriate in a palace of wonders, and command the counsel of four priestesses. But when the Scarlet Moon rises, his reign ends in blood: a sacrificial offering to the vampiric Nightlords who rule from the shadows. Iztac is no ordinary victim. A sorcerer with the rare ability to traverse the underworld, he steals forgotten spells from the dead, hoarding secrets meant to stay buried. The Nightlords underestimated him. Now, with each stolen incantation, he tightens the noose around their immortal throats. One year of power. One chance to break the cycle. Iztac will either drag the Nightlords screaming from their throne—or join the long line of emperors who fed them.
