Of Blood and Bond

Captain. Pirate. Witch.

Haunted by the death of the man she loved and hunted by a king who desires her forbidden knowledge, Mira is trapped at sea with a five-month-old infant and a ship full of seasoned raiders—any of whom could easily kill her and take command of the vessel.

To ensure her son’s safety, Mira must become what she was never meant to be: a captain.

She’s fleeing south, where rumoured sunworshippers might offer refuge from King Arik’s pursuit. But the journey is long, the seas unforgiving, and something ancient is whispering on the wind—something that wants to guide Mira to a destiny rife with mythic peril.

As her grief hardens into something far more dangerous, Mira finds herself drawn to the very power she once feared. Caught between the steady loyalty of a man who’s been grieving alongside her—and a dangerous alliance that would bind her to a powerful leader with all the resources needed for revenge, the choices before Mira grow darker by the day.

Because King Arik isn’t the only one moving pieces across the map.

When Mira is finally forced to choose between vengeance and freedom, love and power, she may become the very thing she’s been running from.

A viking-inspired epic fantasy rife with prophecies, high-seas adventure, and a devastating ultimatum, OF BLOOD AND BONE is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, The Liveship Traders, and The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi.
