The King of Selunath has returned, and there will be no mercy for those who stand against him. Lazarus Cross, Eldritch Knight and Blood Mage of the Order of the Crimson Hand, has returned from the dead and is coming to claim the throne which was stolen from him more than 500 years ago. He has retaken Crimson Keep, a military foothold in the forested south of the kingdom, and now he and his arcane harem must work to expand his control in Selunath. Accompanied by a powerful vampiress, an innocently alluring healer, a fiercely honor-bound druidic warrior, and a sultry (if badly-behaved) doppelganger, Lazarus has his hands full as he makes deals with deities to grow his power for him and his harem. But his vampiress lover insists that his strength would be even greater if Lazarus was able to seduce some of the dark creatures that have beset his kingdom, turning their allegiance and pitting them against the demonic goddess Sanguiana. There is dark magic brewing in Selunath, which might lead Lazarus to his next source of power... or a powerful new enemy. Together, Lazarus and his budding harem will build alliances in the forested and coastal provinces of the kingdom, strengthen their military presence, and plot to overthrow all who stand in their way. Unless the gods have other ideas...

Forbidden passions ignite, and savage instincts awaken in this dark, romantic fantasy.

As Duchess Tempest Talon's menacing army from Shadowmoor advances, Lazarus faces a harrowing choice: turn the once-peaceful town into an impregnable stronghold or watch it succumb to darkness. With time running out, he seeks solace in the embrace of three powerful women-Baroness Belladonna, whose allure matches her formidable wit; the healer Aria, whose divine magic may hold the key to salvation; and the enigmatic druidic ranger, Rowan, whose mysterious nature has revealed itself in a secret power. Yet, amidst the chaos, new allies vie for Lazarus's attention.
