The Plot

Gabriel is a ruthless fae assassin and is convinced that every head has a price. When he’s tasked with hunting down a prophesied blood sacrifice, he assumes it’ll be just another job. What he doesn’t expect is Shyaree. A woman who carries a terrible past, the shame of her own life burdened by sin, and secrets that echo louder than fate itself. Working with Gabriel may be her only path to survival. But the cost isn’t just blood. It’s her heart.

This is a standalone couple within The Warriors of the Five Realms series.

My Breakdown

This Book Gave Me:

✨ A heroine carrying the weight of her past

🔥 A dark morally gray MMC

🖤 A collision of duty and desire

🌑 Dark themes meet dark magic

💥 A romance that earns its heat

Last week, I reviewed Little Fire, and while I loved that book, Blood Song has become one of my all-time favorite books.

The main reason is Shyaree. I totally fell in love with her. While Shyaree lacks the ability to speak, she is not voiceless. She is both fierce and sweet in the most compelling way.

But don’t get me wrong, there was much more to love in this book. The romance is intense and feels earned because both MCs are carrying wounds that don’t go away just because sparks fly. Both characters have stakes far beyond themselves, one bound by contract and reputation, the other by guilt and family ties. Gabriel walks the line between hunter and protector, and that tension makes their dynamic unpredictable to the very end of the book.

I collected your ire like pearls, and I wore your contempt like a crown.

I also enjoyed their bunter, and the spice felt well deserved. The world remains unkind and well-developed as in Little Fire.

Also, the book’s Epilogue scarred me for life. I did not see it coming.

After finishing Blood Song, I read Lullaby Scars, which is more of a Novella, but I enjoyed it as well.

If you enjoyed this post,

Publishing indie books takes a lot of time and resources. The ugly truth is that book sales at current royalty rates rarely cover the cost of a high-quality book production.

Your paid subscriptions help me fund immaculate editing, cover art, audiobook production, and everything that allows The Crown of Blood and Magic trilogy to exist outside my brain.

With my paid subscribers (and street team), I share my entire development process of Book Two in The Crown of Blood and Magic trilogy: writing updates, spoilers, and the messy, honest progress that doesn’t make it into public posts.
