Steel in the Blood : Reckoning Book 1

The box was large, cubic... Erick saw the glowing panel, symbols in green and gold flowing upward across its face. "Bryn", he thought. "Damnit." He recognized what those patterns meant, what must be inside...



In the tradition of Dune and The Expanse, N.T. Narbutovskih's Steel in the Blood is a new story of empire, power, love, and defining humanity.



Erick is Executor of the Geneline Ollson; protector of trillions of the Empress's loyal subjects. He has ruled for three centuries and his daughter prepares to take his place-but that may happen sooner than he hoped. Accused of treason and the target of a looming civil war, he must find the evidence to clear his family name. But in his search, he uncovers a dark secret that threatens the very place of the Empire of Humanity among the stars.



Narbutovskih has written a compelling vision of the future, grounded in the struggles that define us all. Steel in the Blood is a sweeping exploration of story, myth, and mankind itself.



The story continues in Iron on the Tongue...
