Powerful magic and disturbing secrets show Emery what her blood is worth.
For the first time since the Red Kin fell, Emery Morgan’s life almost looks like a future: a circle of friends who don’t flinch at her past and actual plans that don’t involve exile or prison. Then Emery’s mother, a former Red Kin leader, appears in the garden with two chilling claims: a Red Kin leader is loose in Atlantis, and someone Emery loves is running out of time.
Emery and her ex-god partner, Loki, are ordered to chase down faint whispers of Red Kin activity in the city—echoes that seem to back up her mother’s warning. To get anywhere at all, they lean on fae con artist Arlynn and her half-elf apprentice, Corey, who once helped bring the Red Kin’s rule over Atlantis to an end.
The investigation pulls them into a tangle of traitors and blood witches who once worked for the Red Kin’s crusade against magic. One of them awakens painful memories from Emery’s childhood, and digging into that past rips old wounds wide open. Soon the questions aren’t just about what the Red Kin are planning now, but what they intended for Emery all along. Officially, no one has seen the Red Kin since the trials—yet some of them roam free in the city…
The deeper Emery and Loki dig, the clearer it becomes that the answers don’t stop at Atlantis’s borders, and that Emery’s own family sits uncomfortably close to the heart of the mystery.
Blood Magic continues the Atlantis Outcasts series with buried magical secrets, high stakes, and some truths that demand a price in blood.
Please note: This book includes instances of violence (non-gratuitous), explicit language, and occasional references of a sexual nature.
