The Blood of Outcasts (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781739662400)

What if spilling your own blood was the only way to save yourself?

Masako escapes the Lord Council with only her life intact, her clan shattered and master dead in wake of disaster she wrought. It is her cursed blood that cries out, and a godsborne that answers.

By the power in her blood, and a promise made with it, she's given a second chance. With it, she must unite the outer clans, move past old rivalries and worse, or face annihilation at the hands of a foreign sect of sorcerers, the Taosii, and their silent invasion.

Only, Masako was executed, she's meant to be dead. Demonic rumours and a destructive past sow doubt in her campaign before it is begun.

When the Time of Peace comes to an end, and the armies of the Samaki are called upon once more, will Masako survive the fight she started, or will she perish like her clan?
