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.

War has come to Ireece and the king of Fethens is dying. Forest (Nym) has heard of a cure in the southern province of Ether that might save him. She'll do whatever it takes to prove herself and work toward her goal of healing without nymph blood. Silic, the Etherian-born captain of the guard, is haunted by his past in his homeland. He'll do anything to keep Forest safe, even if it means putting himself in harm's way again. To the west, at the border of Ireece and Galia, Jay is caught up in the battle while fleeing the consequences of his role in the Butcher's death. As long as his sister Aleah is trapped in Galia, he'll fight to save her. But Aleah is fully prepared to save herself, no matter the cost. As secrets unravel and blood is spilled, nymphs and humans are picking sides. Fethens stands in the middle of it all. Can the crown prince unite his people before the whole kingdom falls apart?
