WEST JORDAN, Utah - s4story -- W.D. Kilpack III, a native of West Jordan, Uta., published his fifth fantasy novel, Vengeance Borne: Book Five of New Blood, on Amazon.com. This is part of the award-winning New Blood Saga (Crown Prince, Order of Light, Demon Seed, and Rilari) receiving 22 book awards between them, including the International Impact Book Award, the International Firebird Book Award and The BookFest Award.

Vengeance Borne centers around Natharr, the Guardian of Maarihk; Nathan (Vikari), the crown prince of Maarihk; and Ellis the Elder, who has been alive since the Gods walked. In book five, the past and present collide, forcing Natharr and the rest of the Rilari to struggle with the consequences of their absence, past choices, and the power of the Usurper's vizier left unchecked for far too long. The strain proves too much for some, requiring hard decisions to prepare for a dark future racing toward the Guardian of Maarihk, Ellis the Elder, and the Knights of Ril. All that two generations of Guardians have planned from what their Sight revealed is on the brink of failure. They split their forces to race against time, gambling that thinner numbers will endure on diverging paths toward victory. Meanwhile, Nathan fights to deal with great loss and a change of course in his life in the Maarihk Empire as it plants new seeds yearning for a single goal: vengeance.
