Where magic, romance, and The Hunger Games meet.
"The worst part is that I had expected this to end like some ludicrous fairytale. Fairytales were wishful nightmares incarnate."
With half of the Blood Tournament competitors dead, the stakes for marriage were higher than ever, and Carmen was barely holding on. What she had seen in the volcano carved deep scars inside of her.
In a world where blood was everything, the Chancellor forced Carmen to marry in order to preserve her legendary magic. Fractured trust soured the match, alongside the instruction to produce an heir to her new estate within a year.
When the next year's tournament arrived, and Carmen was still childless, she was ready for hell to pay.
However, the punishment was worse than she could have anticipated. A new round of bombings and raids swept across Arrebol. With the threat of civil war looming, Carmen woke up. She was no longer the emaciated, shell-shocked young woman who had faded into society. She was a warrior, willing to fight to the death for a better world.
Be captivated by Carmen's story as it intertwines with classic themes of social status and courage to survive against all odds. This is perfect for fantasy romance fans looking for just the right amount of steam and their next slow-burn couple.
NOTE: This series is upper YA/NA and will have moderate steam as the series progresses. There are some instances of violence, language, and mature situations. Recommended for ages sixteen and up.
“Daniela A. Mera has created a unique dystopian world where blood magic reigns, Elites are forced into arranged marriages, and no one can be trusted. Fantasy and dystopia meld together seamlessly in this first installment of The Blood Tournaments. It's a must-read!” - Elayna R. Gallea, author of Tethered: Book 1 of the Binding Chronicles
Genre: Young Adult Fantasy
