The Blood Gift

The stunning conclusion to THE BLOOD GIFT duology

WAR HAS ERRUPTED.
ALLIANCES ARE FRACTURING.

Ikenna is now a fugitive with a colossal bounty on her head. Yet, somehow that’s the least for her worries. Her grandfather’s long time allies refuse to help, and the Blood Emperor’s Warlord is tracking her. She’s also struggling to control the enormous power she was granted by the Goddess of Blood Rites … and come to terms with the promises she made to get such power.

Amidst all of this, the Blood Emperor leaves decimated cities, war crimes, and untold death in his wake. As the horrors increase, Ikenna and her team realize they must assassinate the Blood Emperor and quickly end the war. His killing may have planet-shattering consequences. But to do nothing means annihilation.

LOYALTIES. REVENGE, POWER. WITH THE WORLD AFLAME, ONLY ONE THING IS CERTAIN: BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED.
