The ringed world of the Triskai is only one timely incantation away from the dark underworld where the damned demons and elementals lust to reduce the world to blood and bones. But despite the sorcery beyond the thin veil, the residents of the Triskai remain clueless about the plot to displace them.
SAM is a student of Candentis Academy who has lost yet another family member under mysterious circumstances. He discovers that the death of his family members isn’t a coincidence, and something vile and ancient is hunting him and his four friends.
TONY is a science whiz at Candentis Academy. But he cannot seem to understand the connection his supposed friend is having with his girlfriend, Parris. Matters come to a magical boil on the night of the Hookery—an annual party held for the year’s graduating class— setting into motion a fate that is bound for tragedy and heartbreak.
Parris is in turmoil, she shares a deep but spooky connection with someone who isn’t her boyfriend. After serving detention with Sam on the forbidden second floor of the Candentis Academy building, she realizes the school is far more than what meets the eye.
Antonio couldn’t care less about academics, his only concerns are his family’s livelihood and listening to the enthralling myth of the Triskai his parents loved to tell. When he and his friends converge at Sam’s house one innocent day, a spectacular event transpires that leaves even Tony the logician baffled to explain it. Antonio, however, sees it for what it is…the five of them are connected in some supernatural way, and the myths may not be myths after all.
Gem has always been a quiet, discerning girl. After the bizarre event at Sam’s house, she is the first to feel the stirrings in her blood. Like all things before it, she kept it to herself…along with the ill-fated magic her spiritual eye sees happening between Sam and Parris.
Sybel is the last Seer left in the Triskai, and what a terrible time to be alive! She's pregnant with a prophecy she's loath to bear—the apocalyptic merging of the underworld with the Triskai. Sybel dreams of a dark world of blood and ash: souls ripped from flesh wandering in a world without salvation. In the throes of her divining, she glimpses five redemptive children in the fringes of her consciousness. She prays they are real and not a figment of her shattered mind as they stand hand in hand while the city burns in spells and ashes.
In Book One of the Blood Quintet Series, Asher crafts the foundation for an epic battle between good and evil. This inventive work promises to be unlike anything you've read before. Perfect for fans of Jennifer L. Armentrout and Nora Roberts.
