The Red Disease: Cerulean Blue, Book 1

A fearful king speaks to himself more than others. A native race faces genocide and the loss of their holy lands: the Godsmoors. A growing rebellion splits the country in two. And the Red Disease, an affliction that causes blood-thirsty madness, is spreading across the realm. It will take the efforts of many to right the scales of power and peace. Venell and Ash Keoneo pick the bones of their destroyed home, the once beautiful coastal colony of Cynn, wondering where to go next after years of isolation. Their choice to finally venture out into the changed world will propel them into schemes and complications they never could have imagined. Ronnock Ukon struggles with haunting dreams and an unquenchable thirst for violence after being scarred with the Red Disease. There is so much his malady has cost him, despite its strange blessings. He's an unwilling soldier in a rebellion, wishing for nothing but acceptance and love, rather than war. Minortai Silverstar is one of thousands of Godsmoorians forced from their holy land onto reservations. Their deep roots to the earth are disturbed. Their link to their constellation namesakes are becoming murkier with each generation. Minortai fears their ways will be lost forever if they cannot soon regain their homeland. At the Capital, Delinda Redal lives in darkness. She is the older sister of the king, Kras. Silently, she pictures herself on the throne, knowing she is a more capable leader. However, she cannot bring herself to betray either family nor order, so she watches as her brother tears the kingdom apart.
