Mistress of Blood and Shadow

by Maria Linwood

Genres: Epic Fantasy

Synopsis

Centuries after a rift split the world in two, the fragile balance between peace and darkness is beginning to fracture once more.

Tábala is thrust into a realm of shifting loyalties, ancient rituals, and rising unrest. When the sacred tree that protects her world begins to die, and whispers of a powerful blood-forged jewel resurface, she realises the danger runs far deeper than anyone believed.

Hunted by enemies, betrayed by secrets, and bound by a love that could cost everything, Tábala must journey to find the Black Heart uncover the truth before the Gloom consumes both worlds.

But some powers are not meant to be awakened … and some sacrifices cannot be undone.
