"We Who Will Die" is the first book in Stacia Stark's Empire of Blood series, a romantasy set in a Roman-inspired world ruled by vampires.
The story follows Arvelle, a bodyguard who makes a magically binding vow to kill the emperor to save her brothers, forcing her to enter a deadly arena competition where she must navigate alliances with powerful vampires, including a man from her past, while uncovering a conspiracy.
Stasia Stark is a self-publishing success story who has also moved into traditional publishing.
