A Promise of Blood: A darkly romantic, high-stakes fantasy adventure

Curses run deep. Desire runs deeper. Welcome back to the City of the Damned.

Suri survived Queen Lera’s ceremony, but now she’s trapped in the City of the Damned. Its ruler, Kol, believes she’s the key to breaking the desert wasteland’s curse, but Suri just wants to save her brother and escape the growing temptations of his court.

As dangerous threats close in, Suri learns her blood bond might be the only way to stop Queen Lera. Spellbinding balls, glamours, blood witches, and dark prophecies await – but only if Suri dares to confront Kol’s shadowed past.

Passion, power, and prophecy collide in this thrilling sequel to ‘A Pocket of Lies’. Fans of ´The Bridge Kingdom´ by Danielle L. Jensen and ´The City of Brass´ by S.A. Chakraborty will love this high-stakes, slow-burn fantasy romance series.

Rachel A Sandpiper (she/her) is a twenty-something fantasy author living in London. She's passionate about creating strong and complex characters in unkind and twisting worlds, but despite what she puts them through, there will always be a heart-pounding romance.
