Synopsis

Josh Reynolds’s novel is book 1 of The Blood of Nagash. Neferata is a queen without a kingdom. Lahmia has fallen, her vampire children have scattered, and she is reduced to draining blood from the beasts of the mountains. After a chance encounter with a party of dwarfs, she sets her sights on the Silver Pinnacle as a capital for a new empire.

She calls allies to battle. The jacket names Ushoran, Lord of Masks, and his bestial Strigoi, and asks whether she can trust them. The reading note calls her the first vampire and frames the book as the path from queen of Lahmia to something larger. The question of trust stays unanswered on the page.
