The Immortal Blood
In The Immortal Blood, the third novel in A Reign of Blood and Magic, Queen Cynara is left powerless after summoning potent magic in the king’s forest, unaware that the power she sought to control would ultimately cripple her. An orb used during the spell releases a single droplet of immortal blood, which multiplies and merges with living creatures, including the statue of an undead king.
Resurrected from the dead, Anastacio, once a godly figure in the Otherworld, returns with a vengeance. Determined to find the goddess from his past and avenge their mutual injustice, he requires the aid of someone he cannot trust. Queen Cynara, trapped inside her frozen body like her husband encased in mortar, holds a secret that may provide the answers he seeks. But why would anyone help her?
How will a resurrected god oversee the kingdom, the royal family, a former queen, and a true-born prince whose secret has been kept from everyone? With the help of a witch and Norse goddesses from the Otherworld, can blood and magic seed the ultimate revenge? Or will Cynara, taken to the Netherworld, allow an enemy hated by all to claim victory once again?
