Red Blood Girl

A safe life or a free life.

She can’t have both.



Fifty years after the war that destroyed civilization, the survivors have rebuilt inland away from the toxic coasts. The rich have nanomeds that keep them healthy. For the rest, an early death beckons.



Self-reliant and curious, Mouse grew up on the streets and made her own luck. Finding work as a domestic meant a home and security for Mouse in a military family with two brothers. One is charming, the other shuns her.



Shot down in a terrifying crash, Mouse meets the charismatic rebel leader Julius who wants nanotechnology for all. A single reckless decision sets in motion a train of events which turns her secure, reliable world upside down. Pursued by government forces, her need to protect herself is threatened by conflicting feelings of love, loyalty and guilt.



This is the first book in the Blood Girl series.
