Publisher's Summary

Cursed from birth. Forced into slavery. It's time to fight back.

The blood of the Ancients is the most coveted ingredient in all of Damaris. The fabled elixir made from it grants those who drink it life that extends far beyond natural means.

There is no higher honor in the kingdom then being granted the privilege of bidding for it. And the people found with the cursed blood? By law, they are the rightful property of the kingdom.

They are tributes.

As a boy, Ryl was sold by his family when he was discovered to have the coveted blood flowing through his veins. Broken, scared, and confused, he’s confined to an area known as the Stocks until he is ready for harvesting.

Ryl stumbles through a doomed life until the appearance of a mysterious stranger who exposes a buried version of the past that changes everything. That his blood may not be a curse, but a blessing.

The fates of all the tributes hang in the balance.

Experience the start of an epic fantasy series filled with unexpected heroes, dark magic, and nonstop adventure. Suitable for all ages, it's perfect for fans of D K. Holmberg, Will Wight, and K. F. Breene.

Promising beginners

I have very high hopes for this series and I hope it doesn't let me down, just saying.

A valiant start so far, very interesting. The premises to an epic story is there . It come across like a coming to age book, almost.

This story reminds me of Sever Brony book almost. I do hope there is more built up of a storyline, characters, etc. This book reads as a YA book but I hope not.

This series has the potential to be more.

Not "Suitable for all ages"

The book is not bad, It seems to be more of a gritty the MC is mad at everyone for everything kind of Epic fantasy type. But in the description it says "Suitable for all ages" and it most certainly is not. It has instances of R**e, mental and physical torture. That's fine since it is part of the story and helps show just how messed up the situation the MC is in, and is a good reason for the audience to want to root for the MC and want to see him get the bad guys, but the "Suitable for all ages" line in the description does not really fit.

This book was incredible in the detail and emotion brought to light through the characters and their connection.

I eagerly await the next instalment of this fantastic series

As always Travis baldree does a spectacular job in being the characters and their emotions to life in a way that really draws you in to the story.
