For readers of WE HUNT THE FLAME and EVERLESS. In ROOTS OF BLOOD, blood is currency and allies come from the unlikeliest of places. Nym is the last living nymph in the province of Galia, and Jay is out for her blood. Her people have been hunted to near-extinction for the healing properties in their bodies. She's supposed to be Jay's solution to everything. Instead, Jay's convictions war with his loyalties and he saves her from certain death, becoming a mercenary on the run in the process. Nym knows she can't trust him — she has the scars to prove it — but she has no other choice. Jay is her only option, and his only option is to return home from banishment, risking imprisonment and even death, if he wants to keep them both safe.
