Exiled prince. Mage heir. Necromancer king. Prince Martris Drayke of Margolan escaped the bloody coup that murdered his family and put his half-brother, Jared, on the throne. He fled with three close friends, found allies along the way, and gained the backing of loyal deserters, the undead vayash moru , and the vengeful ghosts of Jared's many victims. In just one year under the usurper's thumb, Margolan has gone from prosperity to chaos and starvation. Jared's troops hunt down any who oppose him, filling the gibbets and scaffolds and carrying out a reign of terror. Tris has risked destruction to gain control of his spirit magic and harness his power. But when he and his allies return to Margolan, Tris must confront Foor Arontala, Jared's blood mage, and stop him from freeing the soul of the Obsidian King from its crystal prison. If Tris fails, Arontala will set the Obsidian King free and take on his power, becoming unstoppable and destroying the last chance to free Margolan from Jared's rule. Can Tris stand against the blood magic of the Obsidian King to take back the throne and save his kingdom-or will his half-mastered magic bring about an even greater destruction? The Blood King is an action-packed epic fantasy adventure filled with magic, occult lore, honorable ghosts, loyal friends, found family, bloody battles, immortal creatures, secrets, treachery, forbidden love-and a necromancer hero!

It was just as good if not a bit better than the first book, because book two has a higher amount of danger, powerful and creepy necromancy, and more insight into the Mage War. But, I?m still not satisfied with the fight scenes. For me, they leave too much to the imagination, and don?t seem to have an easy flow.
Never wanting to be king and living his life without the crown is only a wasted dream for Tris now. As the Hawthorn Moon approaches, Tris continues to grow into one of the most powerful spirit mages of his time, however if his training doesn?t kill him, Arontala?s sleazy attempts may.
More history of the Mage War is revealed as secrets are told to save the Winter Kingdoms from the starving and trapped Obsidian King; the powerful Sisterhood and their important involvement in the Mage War, the mysterious and dangerous group the vayash moru, and the untold history between Bava K?aa, and Lemuel.
Jared?s hold as a feared tyrant of Margolan is quickly slipping as his soldiers desert his army, and his disturbing and sick nightly actions prove to be too much even for members of the vayash moru.
I?m curious to find out what happens in Dark Haven because everything was so neatly wrapped up at the end of this book.
