(Singular would be "Der Blutmagier"). <br /><br />As for the shift in focus...well, I hear they like a lot of magic in their fantasy over there, and Kiran is the magical one. It's funny, for me Kiran and Dev have equal weight in the story, but I know lots of people consider Dev the primary protagonist because his sections are in 1st person. I sometimes wonder who people would've considered primary if I'd had them both in 1st or both in 3rd.
