In a world where gods once walked, their silence has left a fragile peace-and a bitter power vacuum.
Emphalis stands on the edge of catastrophe as ancient alliances fracture and new ambitions awaken.
In the elven kingdom of Zepher, Prince Zyair Alalea commits the unthinkable: patricide, seizing the throne to break free from Angelic rule. Aligning himself with a fallen angel turned demon, Zyair enacts a forbidden spell to drain the divine power of the angels-including the Supreme King himself.
But power always comes at a price.
As the celestial kingdom of Andratis reels from betrayal, the Angel King Aiyasel and his wife Ayra fight to protect their newborn son-half-angel, half-elf-from Zyair's purge. With dragons, demonic generals, and ancient prophecies at play, the very fabric of Emphalis begins to tear.
Filled with epic battles, political intrigue, celestial magic, and cursed bloodlines, Tribulation is the explosive first novel in the Half-Blood Chronicles -a sweeping fantasy epic where destiny is defied, gods are forgotten, and the balance of creation hangs by a thread.
The war for Emphalis has begun.
