Vengeance

The Blood Trail Chronicles, Book 1

A man once told me there are infinite places love will take you. But revenge is the business of hate, and there is only one place hate will take you, the end. The end of you and the end of everything you once stood for. His words still echo in my mind, next to the images of the places I might have gone.

Amillia Morgentstein wants nothing but freedom. The freedom to choose the man she marries, or if she marries at all. But none of that matters when her home is attacked and her family slain. Broken-hearted and fleeing her burning kingdom, she rides away on the back of her closest friend, Artan.

In a neighboring city, rumors of a red-cloaked assassin flood the streets. An assassin who targets only the rich and the wicked. The trail of blood left behind leads back to the burnt-out doors of a once flourishing kingdom, now ruled by a tyrant.

Broken-hearted and bound by vengeance, Amillia must decide if revenge is what she wants. Or if this is her chance to have the life she always wanted. How far would you go for the ones you lost?
