Because It Is My Blood

by Gabrielle Zevin

Published 18 September 2012

From the bestselling author of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow comes the second book in the Birthright trilogy. Gabrielle Zevin's futuristic thriller, Because It Is My Blood, continues the story of Anya; the reluctant heir of a Mafia boss and star-crossed lover.

Freed from jail, Anya hopes that things will get back to normal. But life on the outside is even more dangerous than life behind bars. Some of her gangland family want revenge for the shooting of her uncle.

Forced to flee the country, Anya hides out in a cacao plantation in Mexico. There she learns the secrets of the illegal and deadly chocolate trade. There too she discovers that seemingly random acts of violence carried out across the world have a single target: her family. As innocent bystanders get caught in the crossfire Anya must act fast and decisively to stop it, no matter what the danger to herself . . .

The romantic dystopian Birthright series starts with All These Things I've Done and continues with In the Age of Love and Chocolate.
