Learn the Words. Get the blood. Rule the world.

The ethics in a world of blood are gray—and an underground strata of blood magicians has been engineering disasters for centuries in order to acquire enough fuel for their spells. Although in the modern world these mages stay in the shadows, their exploits have become no less bloody.

"With intricate plotting and ink-black humor, Somers' new series is a gritty, grim success that will keep readers spellbound."
