Bloodleaf by Crystal Smith tells the gripping story of Aurelia, a princess condemned as a witch. Surrounded by spirits and burdened with forbidden magic, Aurelia lives in constant fear of discovery by the witch-hunting Tribunal and their bloodthirsty mobs.

A devastating assassination attempt reveals her magical abilities, forcing Aurelia to flee her country with nothing but her life. Alone and adrift in an enemy kingdom, she plans her revenge against the Tribunal, desperate to dismantle the dark organisation that has wrought terror upon her people for centuries.

In her new home, something is deeply amiss. Aurelia is soon swept into a deadly mystery involving a secretive prince, the ghost of an ancient queen, and a poison vine known as Bloodleaf.

Entangled in a centuries-long game of love, power, and war, Aurelia must break free before the Tribunal makes its final move, or she may lose far more than her crown.
