Blood-Cursed
2 primary works
Book 1
Saiden, a Blood-Cursed legionnaire-blessed by both the God of Life and Goddess of Death-is a paradox. Called both "Death-bringer" and "World-ender," she is surprisingly careful about taking lives and proving herself to be a monster. Torn between her loyalty to her queen and the need to protect her people, Saiden struggles to decide who she is going to be in a world that has already cast her aside.
Queen Loralei is hiding the fact that she's been blessed by the God of Life while navigating the manipulative and dangerous landscape of ruling a kingdom. When she discovers a mysterious prisoner in her dungeons, she begins to unravel a complicated plot that shadows her reign and would change the course of history.
Mozare, gifted by the Goddess of Death with the powers to control shadows, is hiding lots of secrets in the dark. As Saiden's legionnaire partner, he would do everything to protect her-even if that means killing the queen she swore to protect to save her from a fate worse than death.
With friends and enemies becoming indistinguishable from each other, can these three individuals survive long enough to fulfill their destinies without losing those closest to them, or will their missions irreparably ruin them-and possibly the entire kingdom?
Book 2
Continue Saiden's journey as she navigates the perilous political landscape of Kazia and beyond as allies—old and new—try to keep their world from falling apart.
When Saiden made her choice to join the rebellion against the queen she’d sworn to protect, she knew life in the kingdom of Kaizia would never be the same. Except the rebellion she helped win isn’t promoting the values she believes in and she’s running out of ideas to protect the people she cares about.
Mozare knows this isn’t the world he had been fighting for. Lost in the new era he helped bring about and desperate to right his wrongs, his only option is to protect the few people he has left, even if it means allying with another kingdom.
Follow Saiden’s search for peace and Mozare’s quest for redemption as they deal with scars, inside and out, that may never heal and try to keep everything they love from falling apart. Hope is a fragile thing, but it might be all that is left for them in the perilous political landscape of their new world.
