Cover Reveal: Lady Drakeslayer by Bill Adams

Blurb:

An orphan, having uncovered the truth of her past, shuns the destiny of the blood coursing her veins. Despite slaying a goddess, the path to Eminence slowly shackles her as the other seals beckon.

A drake, burdened by the loss of his ward, can think of none more unworthy to bear the holy horns of a wardkeeper. Hounded by failure, he clings to the hope of repaying the gods' faith.

A princeps, saddled by grief, drowns his sorrow at the bottom of a mug. Hounded by the specter of his dead beloved, he shrinks from his duty, only to be drawn into the fight for his homeland.

A captain, fearless, dashing, and egoless, remains as confident and committed to enhancing her renown. But her legend may end abruptly when she takes on her most damnable contract to date.

Old nemeses return. Age-old plans rekindle. A daemon horde marches on the Golden Throne of Kalderim, while a blooddrake hunts another seal in the City of Sin. Split and broken by their failings, each must rise, but one thing remains: blood rules all.
