I started writing what would become Good Blood<\/em> back in 2016<\/strong>, with no idea what it might turn into. Nine years later, the story is complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been on this journey with me, thank you for your patience and support. I hope the ending is worth the wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I hope you\u2019ll stick around for the next story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HOW DO YOU SAVE A WORLD THAT\u2019S ALREADY LOST?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two years after the Royal invasion, Terene lies in ruins. Survivors are scattered and hunted to extinction. Shal Mar is a prisoner within the Temple walls. Cambria chases a cure that may be nothing but a myth. And Ara\u2014exiled and broken\u2014fights to resist the Dark Blood consuming him from within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But Edan Mar, the Royal\u2019s tyrannical leader, is not finished. With an unstoppable army at his command, he seeks to purge every \u201cimpure\u201d bloodline from existence. Only Ara and a desperate band of rebels stand in his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will Ara embrace the darkness to stop him \u2026 or watch his world burn?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The war for Terene ends now.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
