What to expect
WAR HAS ERRUPTED.
ALLIANCES ARE FRACTURING.
Ikenna is now a fugitive with a colossal bounty on her head. Yet, somehow that’s the least for her worries. Her grandfather’s long time allies refuse to help, and the Blood Emperor’s Warlord is tracking her. She’s also struggling to control the enormous power she was granted by the Goddess of Blood Rites … and come to terms with the promises she made to get such power.
Amidst all of this, the Blood Emperor leaves decimated cities, war crimes, and untold death in his wake. As the horrors increase, Ikenna and her team realize they must assassinate the Blood Emperor and quickly end the war. His killing may have planet-shattering consequences. But to do nothing means annihilation.
LOYALTIES. REVENGE, POWER. WITH THE WORLD AFLAME, ONLY ONE THING IS CERTAIN: BLOOD WILL BE SPILLED.

PRAISE FOR THE BLOOD GIFT DUOLOGY
‘If you want to be on the edge of your seat, find another book, because this one hands you a blade, shoves you right into the action, and demands you start running if you want to keep up. It is action, mystery, and heartfelt character – all balanced perfectly on the tip of a knife’ Scott Reintgen, Indie bestselling author of the Nyxia series
‘The Blood Trials is one of my top reads of the year – a riveting story with richly drawn characters caught in a tangle of political intrigue, systemic racism, and nonstop peril. Don't miss this one!’ New York Times bestselling author Melissa Marr
‘With a high-octane sci-fi setting, a twisty murder mystery, and a badass heroine, THE BLOOD TRIALS is a damn good time’ Hannah Whitten, New York Times bestselling author of For the Wolf
‘An action-packed adventure paired with luscious world building makes The Blood Trials an enthralling, unputdownable read. Davenport is a force to be reckoned with’ Kalynn Bayron, bestselling author of Cinderella Is Dead
‘The Blood Trials is a fresh, intense gut punch of a book that has everything I love most in sci-fi and fantasy. I rooted for Ikenna, the trials gripped me, and the political mystery at the heart of it all kept me constantly on my toes’ Susan Dennard, New York Times bestselling author of the Witchlands series
