Bloodreina

Some stories are hidden because they are dangerous. Others are hidden because they are true. When Bloodreina is summoned before the Court of Parchment, she expects to find answers. Instead, she finds questions.

Raised beyond the city's walls among books, wildflowers, and the stories her mother left behind, Bloodreina has spent her life believing that truth belongs to everyone. But within the Court, truth is guarded. Recorded and controlled by Writers and Editors, who decide which stories are remembered, which are forgotten, and which are never to be told at all.

Chosen for a series of mysterious Trials, Bloodreina is drawn into a world of secrets, corruption, impossible choices, and truths buried deeper than anyone was ever meant to reach. As ancient foundations begin to crack, she discovers that corruption rarely wears the face of a villain. More often, it takes root within systems built by people convinced they are doing the right thing.

Alongside a group of unlikely allies, Bloodreina must confront the painful reality that truth is rarely comforting, power is rarely surrendered willingly, and some of the stories we trust most were written by those who stood to benefit from them. Because answers are rarely the end of a story. Sometimes they are only the beginning.
