THE STARS HAVE FALLEN. Return to the Holy City in the sequel to Blood-Bound.

**Warning** Spoilers follow for those who have not read Blood-Bound! Check out the first book in the Lore of Penrua trilogy before reading further.

All is not well in the Holy City. 

Lady Mhera and Matei u Rhodana, the Rebel King, returned to Karelin to end a war with their sacrifice. In so doing, they tore down an era of secrets and lies. Now, they must restore order to the realm, challenged at every turn by others--and even by one another.
  
Their struggle has just begun, and Mhera and Matei are ill-equipped for the burden that has been thrust upon them. Once again set on a path very different from the one they would have chosen for themselves, they must choose between their desires...and their duty.

They say a mother will do anything for their favorite child and that is always true, one day while counting her son's tuition money Carminia noticed she was not going to have enough to send him to the school of his choice and upon laying her head on her elbowed arm she looked towards the window and there she saw her 18-year-old virgin daughter.

She always said she would never be like her sister who ended up with the wrong crowd and one night they came knocking to them she had been in an accident and had died. Carminia knew of an underground place where they sold off virgin girls and maybe if she talked to Natasha and explained the situation, she would agree to it after all her brother did want to be a doctor.

A LINE UNBROKEN. A TRUTH UNSPOKEN. Born into wealth and privilege as the niece of an emperor, Starborn Lady Mhera never dreamt that tragedy would shatter her world. But darkness roils beneath the peaceful facade of the Holy City: a rebellion is brewing among the Arcborn-the dangerous, magic-blooded undercaste of Penrua-and they will stop at nothing to destroy the peace of the realm. That much is proven to Mhera when she is just a girl and her greatest treasure is taken from her. Years later, still wounded by the evil the Arcborn wrought against her, she is on the brink of professing her final vows as a nun...but before she can accept the life of safety and solitude she doesn't truly desire, she is offered a chilling compromise with fate that threatens everything she has ever known.

A Garden of Blood by AGardenofBlood
12 parts Ongoing
In the realm of Palasia, where the Silver Church's iron grip extends across the continent, the conquered Illuri people still cling to the old ways, praying to spirits that have grown quiet. At the heart of this struggle are four souls bound by fate: Nodalen, a princess burdened by the weight of her bloodline and a legacy of obedience; Liwani, a boy worshipped as a living spirit among the Illuri, yearning to break free from the sacred expectations that imprison him; Clay, a young warrior trapped in the cruel affections of the corrupt electun, desperate for a chance at redemption or escape; and Mary, who views the world through a lens of survival, poised to defy the forces that would see her subjugated. The Silver Church drowns sinners publicly to cleanse them of their sins, wielding faith as both shield and sword. Yet even as their grip tightens, a terrible threat rises. The cult of the Lord of Souls, a mysterious order promising eternal life, begins to swell in numbers, sowing discord in a land already teetering on the edge of chaos. As rebellion brews and the Silver Church's gaze turns inward, alliances are forged in blood, and secrets long buried begin to surface. From the frigid dungeons of Silvertown, where sinners face their watery fate, to the sunlit shores of the Illuri, where ancient rituals persist, Palasia is a land steeped in violence and deceit. Kings and commoners alike are caught in a web of treachery spun by those who crave power and those who would see it crumble. As Nodalen, Liwani, Clay, and Mary navigate the ever-changing tides of loyalty and betrayal, they are drawn toward a reckoning that will test their resolve and reshape their fates. For within the shadows of Palasia lies a hidden truth, a place where all blood flows, where sins are sown and reaped -- a garden of blood that nourishes the roots of a darker age long prophesied.
