The road to the future is paved with the blood of the past.Humanity lives subjugated by more powerful races. Only under the black-and-gold banner of the Onyx Dominium are some human nations free.

Brash and frustrated, she clings to a blade’s edge for life, hanging on only through her father’s guidance and her own tenacity and strength.But then strange dreams begin to haunt Yanatan, some of a great red serpent, others of a masked man claiming these dreams are not her own. At the same time, she and Ardus accept a bounty to hunt down the bandit Luca Rust- a former friend of her father’s.This leads the pair down a road lined with blood and steel. Yanatan faces not only the danger and prejudice she knows all too well, but new perils as well. Too late does she realize that Luca Rust may not be the only evil at play here, and that she is drawing closer to a much larger, darker conspiracy. This isn't what Yanatan was hired for. But she's in too deep to back out now, and the only way out is through...Inspired by series like Elder Scrolls and Dragon Age, DRIFTWOOD EMPIRE is the first installment in the gritty heroic fantasy series ONYX CROWN.
