Harnessing the power in her blood could turn the tides of war—if it doesn’t destroy her first.

It’s been fourteen years since Prince Gaeren lost Aeliana, the childhood friend he’d sworn to protect. Haunted by the unfulfilled promise, he searches for a way to bring her home. But with threats against the kingdom from both a rebel faction in the south and Mayvus, a power-hungry priestess in the east, he only has time to follow one last clue across the seas.

Kidnapped as a child, Aeliana is desperate to be rid of the chaotic magic in her blood, magic her captors use to ravage the land. When she’s found by Gaeren’s rebel enemies, she joins their fight to rescue her mother from Mayvus, but her unwieldy power only serves to attract Mayvus' attention. Aeliana must learn to control her magic before they reach her mother, or risk becoming the weapon Mayvus needs to take complete control of the kingdom.

Read A Preview

“Read the words, Aeliana,” Della urged, gesturing at the inscription on the arrow.

“I don’t even know what they say.” Aeliana frowned down at its shaft.

The strange woman hummed as if they had all the time in the world. “In today’s language it would be something like ‘divided in war, united in hope, reconciled in love.’ Or maybe ‘separated by strife, merged by faith, restored by sacrifice.’ Nothing is ever just one thing.” Her eyes closed, and the foreign words slipped across her lips like water on river rocks.

about

Karyne Norton

Karyne Norton hasn’t found the key to time travel, immortality, or infinite lives, so she’s taking a break from nursing and photography to focus on raising four human beings while writing epic fantasy. Her debut novel, Blood of the Stars, launched on Kickstarter in September 2023 and comes to retailers March 2024.

When she’s not writing, she’s reading, which is why she’s also the host of the Finding Fantasy Reads podcast, where she reads a new short story every week from a variety of fantasy authors.
