The Earl Of Dracumont II by B.H. Crogen
English | 2026 | Sci-Fi & Fantasy
The seat is his. The household is his. The men who buried him in the dark are still alive, and now he has the power to find them.
Algherand Dracumont claimed the Earlship at the end of a sword and the edge of a plan no one saw coming. He sits at the head of the western seat, and the empire has only begun to ask what he means to do with it.
Courting a princess of imperial blood who he intends to make his wife before her family finds a way to stop him. Bound to a Fae who serves him in body and magic both. Joined by a sharp-tongued noblewoman who has not decided whether she wants to ruin him or marry him. Backed by men who swore to him when he had nothing to offer but his word.
He had imagined the seat would settle things.
It has not.
Every decision that came easily before now arrives with a cost, and the cost is rising. Securing the western kingdoms means earning loyalty from lords who do not yet trust him and crushing the ones who never will. Winning his bride means outmaneuvering an Empress who only smiles when she is calculating. And the men he has begun to hunt are powerful in their own right, and not waiting quietly to be found. They killed the friend who had only wanted to save him and they threw a nine-year-old boy into the dark cells to die forgotten.
In a world where dragon-blood sleeps in the body until violence wakes it, where suppression magic cages a man’s power inside his own skin, and where a single misplaced word at a noble feast can leave a corpse in a courtyard before dawn, Algherand will court, scheme, kill, and unleash a power even his teacher warned him never to touch.
But power does not make a man’s choices smaller. It makes them louder. And the closer Algherand comes to the men who buried him in the dark, the further he drifts from the boy who once sat by his mother’s bed.
