Legends That Bleed

The end of a legend . . . the beginning of a legacy. In the brutal, ever-changing world of the verdant rainforest, tensions have never been higher. As the three colonies which inhabit it battle one another, the only chance for peace lies in the hands of one who has the power to change the course of history. With her unique blue hair and dual parentage, Syriel is half of two worlds, with no claim to either—not Yurelle like her mother, or Zrti like her father. With drive, passion, and the conviction to defend it, she'd be the perfect heir apparent to take her mother's place as Grand Chancellor . . . if her mother hadn't promised her to the She'ehlarah when she was just a baby. Syriel's marriage to Prince Zona, heir to the crown of his entire nation, would join a queendom, a senate, and a kingdom with one piece of paper, ensuring harmony for generations. It would also condemn her to a life sentence with a stranger when her heart belongs to another. But the She'ehlarah are vulnerable, and as Syriel grapples with an impossible choice, the fate of a kingdom hangs in the balance. Blending political intrigue with fantasy in a richly drawn world beneath the forest canopy, Legends That Bleed is the first book in the Cerulean Queendom series.
