The Bird and the Blood: Book One of Bright Dark

By Lang

In kingdoms where bloodlines dictate fate, two outcasts may hold the power to save-or doom-it all.

Wrenah, a half-elf thrust into a web of deceit after tragedy strikes, flees the only life she's ever known-only to learn that nowhere, and no one, is safe. Her mysterious bloodline threatens not only her survival, but a realm that would rather erase her kind than understand it.

Ilian has spent his life running from what he is-a half-breed vampire with a powerful lineage. Hunting those he once called kin, he survives in the shadows, haunted by secrets and a throne he never asked for.

When their paths collide, long-buried truths claw to the surface. Their alliance is fragile, threaded with suspicion-and something neither dares name. As kingdoms tremble and a shift of powers is on the horizon, Ilian and Wrenah must decide what they're willing to sacrifice: their secrets, their freedom, or each other.

Light or darkness. Salvation or ruin.

The world will burn or bloom in their hands-if it doesn't break them first.
