The powerful Scarlet King, Redgar Rentlyn, is dying. The same magic that granted him inhuman strength is slowly poisoning him. The curse's venom has already taken his sight... but not his will to live. Redgar's last hope is the Sorceress, Tainna, his greatest enemy. Redgar must fight through the hostile swamp land to reach her. Worse, he must leave his own realm to the scavengers and traitors. Selena the Fox, a veteran of war that won Redgar his crown, wants nothing more than a quiet life with her children... until Redgar's own soldiers come to take her daughter. Selena must put on her armor once again, and enter a brutal tournament to attempt to rescue the girl from both bandits and lawmen. Lord Beron Volstrom is torn between attempting to save the realm broken by Redgar's departure, and continuing his war against the western barbarians. Lord Beron only thinks he knows all the enemies he faces. The worst enemies are those he is trying to save. The Scarlet King, the first book in epic Scarlet Cycle, uses multiple point-of-view characters. The second book, Scarlet Traitor is now available. The third book, Scarlet Witch is coming soon.
