But her Kurshram fights a life-sacrificing way through the flaming palace to trade his soul to free her. A thousand years later, a dark deed wakes his dead, empty flesh...\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichard can't die. And he's a monster. Maybe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSullen, and sarcastic, he's a soul divided. A healer by trade, a conflicting blood-stealing curse drives him slowly mad while people keep showing up for help. Mostly? He wants to be left alone. And that's just not working out. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn eighteenth century Britain, injured, conscience-stirring Maggie falls across his threshold to challenge everything he believes is true. Until vicious pirate captain, Billy the Blackdeath, with a secret as old as his own, tangles them up in an inhuman vendetta that puts his unkempt scruples to the test. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn the solitude of a remote Canadian forest in the present day, to his undying exasperation he learns everyone is looking for him--the living and the undead--while fate seems determined to serve him up existence in unexplainable harmony with people he doesn't know. When the truth comes out, it smacks of supernal collusion and though Richard protests he's nobody's hero, a manic, all-consuming need to protect human and not-so-human explodes into a fiery five-thousand-year-old destiny of epic, mythological proportion.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jd Stanley\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 199943627X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781999436278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Roaming Druid\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/17\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 342\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.11lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.76d","brand":"Jd Stanley","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48800763969791,"sku":"9781999436278","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/blood-runner-jd-stanley-9781999436278","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
