Black Bloods: Valesia's Vow

"Valesia looked outside the window and saw that the sun had just disappeared behind the hillcrest. She had until the second sundown to murder her best friend. The only person who loved her through her plight for Talio. Talio. Was he ever going to stop costing her?"

Valesia, a troubled drow fighting every waking moment for her brother, curses the blood in her veins. How could she have thought she could defy the spider goddes of evil, Lolth, forever? Even if she could, the black sludge coursing through her veins was enough to seal her true fate... goodness wasn't written in her code.

What if she could take her bold defiance to a new level, even from spitting in the face of a god? What if she could change the color of her blood? Break her vow?

Never. Impossible. But maybe?...
