What Blood Demands

She failed her coming-of-age rites and paid for it with exile. Banished by her own father, cast aside by the coven who raised her, she learned to understand what survival looks like without blood or protection.
Three years later, she is summoned home. Not to be given a second chance but to compete for a crown she never dreamed of.
In a world where magic is inherited, loyalty is conditional, and blood is fashioned into both a weapon and a chain, she must decide how much she is willing to give to a coven that once discarded her.
Because this time, she won't bleed quietly.
