Avianna Bishop: Sacrifice, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Lady Zarya of Balhae never thought she would be chosen for a deadly task - but now The Blood Ritual demands a sacrifice.

With her brother's disappearance looming over her, Zarya throws herself into representing her father's position as Prime Fae Minister. As the Spring Equinox looms, she is given the opportunity to prove her worth to both the Queen and the rest of the Kingdom of Balhae's royal court: complete the long-forgotten Blood Ritual. Tasked with crossing into the mortal realm to retrieve a chosen sacrifice that will ensure a bountiful harvest for her kingdom, she accepts-and it is quickly revealed she will be hunting a human.

Driven by both duty and ambition, Zarya enters the realm of strange customs, fragile lives, unexpected kingdoms and harsh cruelties. Although, having crossed the border and mingled among humans, she finds her loyalties tangled. As she fights to navigate both the Terra and the emotions rising with each day she spends with the irritatingly handsome mortal, her immortality offers no sympathy. When the ritual demands blood, she is forced to confront what it truly means to wield courage-and what she is willing to sacrifice to keep it.

A dark fae fantasy of blood, romance, vulnerability, and the cost of ambition, Sacrifice explores the grey space between honour and cruelty, and what it means to carve your own path.
