Linley Baruch has gained his vengeance against those who destroyed his family, and for now has escaped the tyranny of the Radiant Church. Yet vengeance alone sustains no one, and so the Dragonblood Warrior begins to turn his attention from bloody revenge to assisting his kith and kin. Linley is not the only Baruch, after all... and for that matter, the time has come for Baruch to become more than just a clan. A Saint can treat with kings and emperors as equals, and Linley will let neither Holy Emperors nor Dark Patriarchs stand in the way of Baruch's rising.

This is the third of eight fantasy novels comprising the translation of the seminal 'Coiling Dragon Saga'.
