Blood Book, the Chronicles of Taizu

How many people should be kings and hegemons in this world? The dragon that dominates the sky? Or are they ambitious humans? Or is it an elf who doesn't care about worldly affairs? Or the dwarves in the mountains and the orc tribe in the far north? Or the traveling halflings and giants who have been fighting trolls? Or maybe a vampire? This novel and its characters are purely fictitious. Any similarity is purely coincidental and should not be imitated.
