The Blood Code, Book 5 Is Out Now!

Mikhail Komarin has faced monsters, inquisitors, imperial politics, ancient powers, and more than one enemy who seriously underestimated him. But in The Blood Code, Book 5, the greatest threat may come from something even a blood mage cannot simply overpower: betrayal, the games of the gods, and his own destiny.

From the very beginning of The Blood Code series, Mikhail has lived by one simple principle—the Code. In his previous life, he hunted monsters from the inner plane and saved people, only to be condemned by the Inquisition and burned at the stake. Reborn into a disgraced family with a bounty on his head and the attention of the gods firmly fixed on him, he did what he does best: survived, grew stronger, and made his enemies regret hunting him.

Since then, House Komarin has endured one crisis after another. Mikhail has fought for his family, confronted powerful enemies, dealt with Muscadine, faced the Emperor, traveled to Derbent, forged a pact with the Altar of the Primal Elements, and journeyed north in search of secrets hidden beneath the ice.

But victory has consequences.

In Book 5, triumph quickly gives way to disappointment and betrayal. The world Mikhail thought he understood begins to change as the past returns with new force. The gods are no longer distant patrons watching events unfold—they are players pursuing their own goals. Worse still, people Mikhail considered allies may have been pieces in someone else's game all along.

And there are more immediate problems. The altar must be restored. Mikhail's friendship with the mysterious ergs may demand a price. His sister, a hunter capable of commanding two elements, is caught up in the growing storm. And somewhere ahead waits a new enemy—one tied to Mikhail's own destiny.

For perhaps the first time in a long while, Mikhail must take risks that endanger far more than his own life. Deals must be made, unexpected people will return, and even the best plans may prove to have an expiration date.

Mikhail isn't searching for an easy way out. His priority remains the same: keep the people he cares about alive.

Everything after that can be dealt with when it comes.

The Blood Code, Book 5 by Michael Borz is out now on Amazon.

Get ready for another round of blood magic, divine schemes, dangerous alliances, betrayal, and unexpected twists—and find out whether Mikhail Komarin can survive the gods' game without losing everything he's fought to protect.

The Blood Code still stands.
