Blood Bound: Dark Inklings Book One

Ten years have come and gone since the war scorched the earth and tore our lands apart. Dark magic has been outlawed in Ravhamn, home to seers, and the largest city in the newly independent North. Yet, a scent lingers down the narrow streets. Sticky and sweet, like an ill omen; a promise of rot.A body is found, floating in stagnant canal water. Cloaked in heresy and left to bloat. Someone who used to be with us, now dead and not to be mourned. The liars who hide behind masks know something but cannot tell the truth.A man, still scorned by a love lost, his present heads towards the same fate. Unless the cycle breaks. Ashamed of his past and stripped of both title and name, he is offered a third chance to change his path. However, will the irredeemable seek redemption? Or does he crave something else? Blood Bound is the first book in a series of five. It follows a bisexual protagonist struggling with his life ten years after the end of a great war. This book features mental illness, substance abuse and what it might do to a person once they are no longer 'the chosen one'.
