Empire of Thirst
A Dark Fantasy of the Vampire Empire
THEY STOPPED FEARING THE DARK. THEY STARTED WORSHIPPING IT.
The bloodline no longer hides. It rules. Three centuries into the reign of the first king, the Ash Empire covers the world: temples where the gods have been taken down and the altars widened, a hierarchy written in blood, millions who kneel to kings who will never die. But immortality breeds appetites no empire can feed forever. The hunger is evolving into something no crown can command, and cracks are spreading through the bloodline itself. And at the centre of it all walks the one woman who never knelt, while an obsession centuries old tightens around her like a closing hand. Three threats now move toward the empire of thirst. Any one of them could end it.

M. A. Khan writes at the meeting point of ancient warning and modern consequence. A British author with a previous career at the sharp end of military and trauma medicine, he brings a surgeon's economy and a soldier's eye to stories that range from apocalyptic geopolitical thrillers to mythic dark fantasy. His books ask one recurring question: when the old stories said we were warned, what exactly were we supposed to do about it? He writes as M. A. Khan; his nonfiction appears under Mansoor Ali Khan.
