Virtus Draconis: Blood Price

What are you willing to pay?

Claude Virtus has lived his life the only way he knows: day by day, in struggle. As a mercenary's apprentice, he is ready for his first mission: princess Meredith, of the conservative kingdom of Shaddhai, has declared war against the nation of Anthropia, disgusted with their progressive lifestyles and traditions. Claude and his brother, the wolf Mordred Constantine, are dispatched for an important mission: investigate the details of the war, and stop it in any way they can. But when Claude is mysteriously poisoned in his first engagement, a survivor, Anna, decides to pay the dearest price to save his life: a blood price.

A celebration of strength of will like no other!

A dramatic adventure, full of heartrending loss, bittersweet victories and moments of clear, personal growth awaits! This neurodivergent, furry novel celebrates the importance of mental health, autism and neurological conditions (such post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorder) as mechanisms to present different and unique perspectives, framed in the fantasy and sci-fi genres.
