Dragon's Blood ~ Patricia Briggs

This is the conclusion to the Hurog Duology. This novel takes place four years after the previous book. The king has recalled that Ward was supposedly not smart enough to manage Hurog on his own, and has sent soldiers to bring him back to Court, to be tested and determine his capabilities for himself. We soon discover that this is a plot to lock Ward away and drive his family into committing treason so that he can have them all murdered. Will Ward manage to overthrow this plot of the kings and save those he cares for the most?
