A Trial by Blood

The Thornheart Trials #3

Rose

After a lifetime of suffering, I'm ready to end it all…Preferably before my Trial begins. 

I'm more useful dead than alive—Death is demanding my soul as payment for a debt he believes my family owes, and Ronan, the cold-blooded dhampir who can't seem to stay away from me, can help end my pain.

But when the call to Trial comes sooner than expected, I must answer and risk Death's wrath, and the fate of those I love most. Ronan’s vowed to protect me...but the ice in his veins has turned to fire and his need for me has the power to set us both ablaze.

As everything I believed is tested to the limit, I'll have to fight—for my coven, and a future I never dreamed I was destined for...
