Blood in the Ink

In a world where Knowledge is power, books bring status to the elite and death to everyone else in this dystopian romance from the author of the Ever Seas series.

Darcy Whitlock is a damn good thief. To keep food on the table, she swindles and sells illegal books from the Evolved citizens, elite who hoard knowledge for prestige. During a risky book grab, Darcy is caught by the government’s cruelest enforcer: Tyran Blackwood. Everyone knows Blackwood has the ability to turn blood into monstrous weapons, and he takes pleasure in doing so.

When Darcy narrowly escapes, she thinks she got lucky, until an ambush kills her best friend. Darcy’s rage inspires her to target the Evolved, and Tyran is more than happy to be her mark. But their game of cat and mouse unknowingly reveals deeper secrets than Tyran or Darcy anticipated, and the only way to survive just might be to become allies.

But after a devastating betrayal strikes, the budding passion between Darcy and Tyran sparks a rebellion that might destroy everything they know—and everyone they love.
