Blood & Fur (final book stubbing on November) Novel

In the empire of Yohuachanca, a new emperor is chosen each year to rule in opulence and luxury. He enjoys the finest foods, the most beautiful women in his harem, and a palace of unparalleled splendor, all while four priestesses guide his decisions. However, this reign comes with a grim fate: at year's end, the emperor is sacrificed to the Nightlords beneath the Scarlet Moon's light. Iztac, a lowborn orphan, has been selected as this year's emperor—and thus marked for the altar. But the vampires have made a critical error. Iztac possesses sorcerous power, allowing his soul to venture into the underworld's depths to steal forbidden spells from the dead. Within this darkness lies the knowledge needed to overthrow the Nightlords from their throne. With only twelve months remaining before his prophesied sacrifice, Iztac must locate this power or face eternal death. He is determined to become the final emperor Yohuachanca will ever know.
