In a shattered world where magic is forbidden, a war is brewing and only one thing is certain: Blood. Will. Rain. Brynna has lived her whole life in relative peace and isolation—until the Revenants, a malevolent cult wielding forbidden magic, annihilate everything she holds dear. Her life now burned to ash and her parents slain, Brynna narrowly evades the slaughter, fleeing into Bloodgrove Forest. Friendly faces emerge within the village of Bloodgrove, including the local blacksmith, who gives Brynna an opportunity to make a new life as his apprentice. But she can’t escape her fate so easily. Haunted by nightmares and tormented by the local ruffian, Brynna is growing increasingly restless and finding it difficult to cope with her need for revenge. Brynna can’t run from evil forever. Will she and her newfound friends survive, or become victims of the Revenant's bloody reign of terror? 2024 Firebird Book Award Winner in the Young Adult Fiction Category 2024 Digital Book Today Literary Award - 2nd Place Teen Fantasy 2025 Author Shout Ready Ready Award - Top Pick
