Blood Bound

Metis Murrow is dead - legally speaking. In reality, she's spent her entire life in hiding. Her mothers say it's for her own protection, but she can't shake the feeling that there is more going on.... And she's right.

Due to an exploding human population, political unrest, and perhaps something more sinister, disease is running rampant in the United States. But in 2024, a baby was born with a mysterious enzyme in her blood. Thirteen years later, scientists discover the "Apex Enzyme" attacks viruses, disease, and even cancer cells, rendering patients healthy within days. From that point forward, Promethia Radcliffe's blood, body, and life belong to the U.S. government - and more directly, The Center for Biomedical Research. Forced to live away from her family, friends, and much of the outside world, she endures excruciating harvesting of her blood - The Contribution - so others can survive.

But not every sick person is receiving treatment. Millions are sick and dying, while the rich and well-connected thrive, healthier and more beautiful than ever. Until one day, a rouge group of the sick decide to take action. A resistance is rising....

After escaping the Center late one night, Promethia finds herself once again in the middle of a situation she can’t control, caught in a web of lies and a political cover up that may lead right to the Oval Office. But she also finds an opportunity to truly save the world, and within herself, she finds a freedom she has never known.Blood Bound speaks to readers who respond to strong characters and female bonds, and are intrigued by the corruption and drama that plagues our government.

Fans of books such as Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins and Parasite by Mira Grant will enjoy Promethia’s moral struggle and a suspenseful peek into the worst parts of the political process.
