Publisher's Summary

Morgan Locke, university student, has been hiding his debilitating illness with fair enough success when two unlikely emissaries arrive bearing the news that he is prince to a nation of creatures out of folklore. Ridiculous! And yet, if magic exists...could it heal him? The ensuing journey will resurrect the forgotten griefs of history, and before it's over, all the world will be remade by thorns and steel....

The first book of the Blood Ladders trilogy, an epic fantasy with sociopathic elves, vampiric genets, and the philosophy students mixed up in the lot.

Where is all the blood and gore

This is not as dark as the reviews claim. It one thing to use the word rape and another thing to experience it with the characters. There is a lot of telling and it's boring and extremely longwinded. This could have been so much better, The narration is excellent at 1.5 speed. I wanted to know what happened, so it is definitely intriguing. I doubt that I will continue to book 2. I wanted more erotism it would have made the plot so much more interesting.
