One must lead. One must teach. One must transform. And all must decide: will they rise to the occasion, or let the world crumble?... Domi, a young thief abandoned at birth, just wants to save his dying foster mother. But first, he must commit the most dangerous heist of his life, snatch an artifact with miraculous healing powers from under the noses of the most powerful sorcerers in the land, and survive the awakening of his own magic. Daedalus, a young royal, just wants time to mourn his mother, who died two days ago. But first, he must ascend the Throne of Solitude she left behind, don the Onyx Crown she once wore, and become the next Princeps Worldholder, Keeper of Heaven and Earth. Valens, a seasoned sorcerer, just wants to return to the borderlands and battle rogue magic. But first, he must escape the twin burdens of taking a wife and an apprentice-duties that threaten to trap him in the city and tether him to a life he's spent decades avoiding. As the fates of these three strangers intertwine, the sorcery holding the world together begins to unravel. And beyond the planet's weakening magical protections, an ancient threat waits...

Spectres are agents of the Samarian Empire, the first line of defence before diplomats or the military are required. Immune from prosecution and trained to use powerful magic, they deal out justice at the end of a blade. Lord Scipio, a legendary spectre, has gone rogue and taken a piece of dangerous alien technology. Squad Fearless, the first black spectre, is assigned to track down, and possibly kill, his mentor. He is joined by Anya Fitzwallis, A DIA agent and expert investigator, Anya's brother Indigo, an autistic mage who holds an immense power, The Kindred, a highly advanced Artificial Intelligence, and Sig, a Dwarven mercenary. In order to complete their mission, they must uncover the nature of mysterious black triangles that appear in the sky and wreak untold destruction with new types of weapons. Able to level buildings and destroy cities, if you see them, you die. Why is this unknown force interfering in a war between the Jade Empire and a powerful new enemy? The secretive head of the Samarian intelligence service is operating in the shadows. Who is The Spider and what is he working towards? All the threads are slowly coming together and when they do it will change everything. A Secret Man of Blood is high fantasy meets science fiction and contains strong language and violence. #tsc22
