When the murders from her latest novel begin happening in real life, bestselling crime writer Samantha Carter is dragged into a chilling investigation where fiction turns fatal.

As the case spirals and suspects vanish, the truth cuts closer to home. The killer isn't just obsessed with her work-they want her to bleed for it.
Twisted, atmospheric, and razor-sharp, Ink and Blood is a gripping exploration of fame, fear, and the dangerous power of storytelling.
