Blood Son is a work-in-progress novel by author S.E. Kane. The story follows Prince Bardom L''''Ani, who infiltrates the Lekkian Empire as a slave soldier (Shavu) to plot revenge for the destruction of his home and the murder of his family. In his home tradition, a blood son is chosen by his parents to preserve the honor of his house, despite not being the heir to it. Once, this meant participating in duels, representing the family in legal proceedings, and ensuring war guilt was paid. Now, with the title of Blood Son dormant to most, Bardom erupts with fury to find justice for his dead kin, only to realize that earning it will not be so simple. Bardom chooses to go to the furthest lengths of his morality to achieve his goal, even sacrificing his own freedom to rise the ranks of the Lekkian ruling class. It is not enough to kill Jermaine Rontisil, the Great Leader of Stet-Lek; Bardom decides he must tear down all that he''''s built.As he ascends from slave to warlord, Bardom finds unlikely comrades, becoming the champion of Lekkain slaves and a quasi-religious figure. He befriends fellow slaves like Yashin and Deckel while serving in Lord Kagarani''''s army, as they fight their way through whole nations to satisfy the Great Leader''''s appetite for empire. While playing the game of Lekkian politics, Bardom finds himself pulled in other directions from his main goal. He''''s compelled to aid his sister-in-law, Adella, who was taken hostage and made a slave by another lord. Bardom''''s own reputation, now known as the mysterious slave Na''''Vanad, earns the attention of the other warlords, as well. With a target on Kagarani''''s back, Bardom uses the pressure against his master to force his way up the ladder of power. But not all goes according to plan, as he falls in love with the Great Leader''''s daughter, Princess Laila.
