Zmeij

From the creative mind of the writer of the Ashes of the Fallen Series of Books comes a tale of court intrigue, addiction, romance, and sorcery.

"Two hundred years ago the Zmeij Wars nearly encompassed the entire planet of Erdo. Emperor Perion The Fourth used the Zmeij war to assert full control over all Eight Kingdoms. Before the Zmeij War he had only dominion over five of the Eight Kingdoms on Erdo. Emperor Perion the Fourth backed the growing Sorcere Guild against The Spice Cartels. For fifty years Emperor Perion the Fourth had been granted sanction to use Zmeij without license as well as being granted a thirty percent discount in purchase of further Zmeij. His heir, Crown Prince Wolknor, saw the dangers in the overdose of Zmeij and Sorspawn. On the death of Perion the Fourth, newly inaugurated Emperor Wolknor unofficially cut as many ties with The Sorcere Guild as possible without causing offense. He even went so far as to surround himself with bodyguards that were addiction free of The Spice, and cut the Council of Sorcerer Generals from eighteen down to eight." - History of the Empire of Eight Kingdoms by the Scholar Kali of House Hameln.
