We Who Will Die: An Epic Romantasy of Forbidden Love, Deadly Secrets, and Vampires in a High-Stakes Arena, Discover a Vividly Reimagined Ancient Rome (Empire of Blood, 1)


Purchase options and add-ons

Instant New York Times Bestseller!
From the bestselling author of the Kingdom of Lies series comes a slow-burn romantasy set in a Roman-inspired world ruled by merciless vampires. Filled with breathtaking combat, vengeful gods, and magical creatures,
We Who Will Die is the epic first installment in an enthralling new series perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Jasmine Mas, and Rebecca Yarros.

Life in the perilous Thorn district is a constant battle for Arvelle and her younger brothers. And the vampire standing on her doorstep is about to turn their world upside down.

Faced with an unthinkable choice, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to do the impossible: kill the emperor, an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros. But first, she must enter the Sundering—an arena where only the fastest, strongest, and deadliest survive long enough to be selected for the emperor’s elite guard.

She quickly draws the ire of the Primus, the powerful figure charged with protecting the emperor. But the vampire under the armor is the last person Arvelle expects to encounter in the emperor’s court.

With her brothers’ lives in the balance, Arvelle has no choice but to ally with the man who once shattered her heart… and with the emperor’s sadistic son, Rorrik—two vampires whose motives are impossible to pin down. Rorrik holds the key to understanding the powers Arvelle is developing—abilities that would put a price on her head if discovered by the emperor.

To survive the arena and complete her mission, Arvelle must get to the bottom of a conspiracy that will change everything she thought she knew about herself—and the two vampires who are deeply entwined with her destiny…

Editorial Reviews

Review

"We Who Will Die is a truly gripping and dynamic story of heroism and sacrifice. I was hooked from the beginning. Gladiator vampires? HELLO? Is there a subscription for more of this? Stark created something that is both deeply emotional and wildly adventurous. Vampire drama in a quasi-Roman setting is my new favourite genre.” - Stacey McEwan, New York Times bestselling author of A Forbidden Alchemy

"Stacia Stark transports us to a world of mythical creatures, vindictive gods, and brutal vampires. Arvelle is a fiery heroine who is duty-bound to kill the emperor, and it's impossible not to root for her as she battles her way through the Sundering while trying to avoid the temptation of a former love. We Who Will Die is a fresh take on a Roman-inspired world--it's sexy, dark, and a bloody good time!" - Demi Winters, author of The Ashen series

“I binged this book like it was my new favorite tv show. An absolute must-read for any romantasy fan.” - Emma Noyes, author of Soul of Shadow

"Stacia Stark delivers an absolute banger of scorching romance, gladiatorial action, and vampire power dynamics. We Who Will Die sets a blistering pace from the first chapter, delivering epic fights, twisty intrigue, and high-stakes romance. One of my top reads of the year!" - Brynne Weaver, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Butcher & Blackbird
