Download Kings of Ruin: Kingdoms of Sand, Book 1 AudioBook Free
In an ancient world of sand and splendor, an empire awakens. Aelar, a mighty country, spreads its tentacles. Its oared galleys surprise the seas, and the waters run red with bloodstream. Its legionaries swarm desert ruins, smiting barbarian hordes. Its crosses brand the roadsides, displaying the dying flesh of heroes. The Aelarian Empire increases. The old world comes. The powerful Sela family has prevented the empire until now. The family has carved out an idyllic life between sea and desert, ruling a bustling slot, a flourishing city, and lush vineyards. Yet when an imperial fleet arrives in their harbor, everything the Sela family has generated threatens to collapse. Sweeping from snowy forests to cruel deserts, from bazaars of question to fields of war, here is a tale of legionaries and lepers, priests and paupers, kings and crows. Here a woman travels across unlimited dunes, seeking magic; a cruel prince battles to promise a bloodstained throne; and a soldier fights to attend an overwhelming coordinator. As the empire spreads, the destiny of the Sela family - and of most civilization - stands upon a knife's edge, for under the surprise of warfare, even the best nations are but kingdoms of sand.
