Evata's Bloodline

By Anka Kochet

Their father is dead. The fortress is overrun. And Rin finds her twin brother in a brothel with his fingers in some girl's mouth.

So begins the Sonakh family's exile-three siblings bound by a Blood Oath that means if one dies, they all do. The youngest, Darka, is Light-touched in a world that still treats her kind as livestock. The oath was supposed to protect her. Instead, it made her a leash around her brother's and sister's throats.

In the capital, they start over. They move into the shop of an artificer who won't let Darka touch him, calls her his nightmare to her face, and still makes coffee for her every morning. Rin discovers her mind can break people-and she likes it.
Someone in the city is draining the Light-touched of their blood in rituals no one has seen in centuries.

Darka thinks she'll become the greatest healer in the city. The blood on the stones says otherwise.

Perfect for fans of Robin Hobb's Liveship Traders, R.F. Kuang's The Poppy War, and Katherine Arden's Winternight Trilogy. If you love families that fight as hard for each other as they fight with each other, morally gray characters you can't stop rooting for, and slow burn romance built on tension rather than tenderness-this is your book.

18+ only. Contains mature themes, violence, and scenes of a sensitive nature.
