The Blood Traitor by Lynette Noni (Paperback)

Kiva Meridan has endured prisons, trials and betrayal, but the final test demands more than survival. War shadows the horizon, kingdoms edge toward collapse, and she carries the weight of every decision that led her here. Once driven by vengeance, she now faces the harder question of forgiveness and whether she can rebuild what she helped break. Her family, once a promise of hope, stands divided. Friends she loves may never trust her again. Yet time is short and wounds must wait.

Cut off from Evalon and forced into a dangerous journey, Kiva joins unlikely allies with bitter history behind them. Every step brings battles, magic, and a rising threat that could consume all of Wenderall. To save those she loves she must face the past, challenge her own guilt and break through the grief she carries like armour. Strength is not enough. She must learn where she stands, who she stands beside, and what she will risk when everything is on the line.

The fate of kingdoms rests on her next choices. If she succeeds, hope might return to a fractured world. If she fails, war and ruin will spread beyond control. Kiva has survived. Now she must fight not only for her people, but for the chance to heal.
