Throne of Glass meets Once Upon a Time and The Hunger Games in this heart-wrenching, high fantasy romance packed with trauma healing, epic magic, and high-stakes rebellion.

"They wanted to make a monster? I'll give them one."

Bearing the scars of a turbulent past, Alora fights with a ferocity only found in those who have known tremendous suffering. She must become a weapon and play by the rules of brutality.

Garrik, haunted by relentless nightmares and his former torture, struggles to conquer his corruption and the beast they created. As he overcomes the shadows of his trauma, he begins to realize that righteous strength and sacrifice lie not in violence but in the power to protect. To love—to love her.

United and harnessing their inner darkness, Alora and Garrik take the first steps in building a future beyond the shadows. Even if their quest for a relic to end it all could be the very thing that leads to their downfall.

Blood will be spilled, and heirs will rise, but in the end, who will stand as the true savior of Elysian?

Can Alora and Garrik weather their shared torment to claim a future beyond pain? Or will the promise of freedom come at too great a cost?

What Lies Within Blood & Heirs is the second book in a new series featuring a morally gray hero with powers of darkness, enemies-to-lovers, "traumance", banter, dark secrets, and captivating, action-packed adventure with high heat/slow burn romance.
