The King of Selunath has returned, and there will be no mercy for those who stand against him.

Lazarus Cross, Eldritch Knight and Blood Mage of the Order of the Crimson Hand, has returned from the dead and is coming to claim the throne which was stolen from him more than 500 years ago.

He has retaken Crimson Keep, a military foothold in the forested south of the kingdom, and now he and his arcane harem must work to expand his control in Selunath.

Accompanied by a powerful vampiress, an innocently alluring healer, a fiercely honor-bound druidic warrior, and a sultry (if badly-behaved) doppelganger, Lazarus has his hands full as he makes deals with deities to grow his power for him and his harem.
