The dead return. The living choose sides. And the field waits for blood.
Siegfried's death has reshaped the court of Worms, but the truth of it moves quietly beneath the surface, carried by ravens and guarded by those who know what must come next. Kriemhild stands in the space between grief and strategy, building alliances no one sees until they are already in motion. Brunhild holds her ground as the kingdom shifts beneath her feet. Hagen sharpens the final edges of a plan years in the making.
Across the Rhine, the Huns gather. Old debts stir. New loyalties form. And every step the court takes leads toward a single, inevitable place ? the red-stained field where oaths will break, kingdoms will fall, and the cost of every choice will finally be paid.
The Red-Stained Field is the fourth book of the Blood & Gold saga ? a story of power, loss, and the moment when destiny stops waiting.
