The Devil's Judgment Chris Pisano

King Oremethus has been on the throne for ten years, bringing ruin to the country of Albathia. Madness consuming him, he commands his dragons to destroy entire towns believing that he is ridding the country of demons. His sadistic brother, Prince Daedalus, twists information and preys on his insecurities. The duo rule the country through fear and death, their only threat to their reign is their brother, Perciless. Evading capture, Prince Perciless and his entourage have been traveling from city to city, recruiting a secret army of citizens ready to revolt against the tyranny of Oremethus.

During a fit of lunacy, King Oremethus and his dragons attack a mining town, but because of the efforts of siblings Ideria and Nevin, one of the king's dragons is killed. Once it is discovered that the siblings are the children of Dearborn Stillheart, a warrior worthy of legend, it becomes a race between the princes to find them. Daedalus wants to kill them and Perciless wants to use them as beacons of hope to inspire the downtrodden to rise against oppression. Through the new chaos that has become their lives, Ideria and Nevin learn a gut-wrenching secret - they've been lied to by those who have raised them for most of their lives.

Common people against tyranny. Brother against brother. Children against family. Who will find favor within the devil's judgment?
