Greythorne

Princess Aurelia has lost the kingdom she believed she had rescued. It has collapsed into ruin, and a person she cared for has died at sea in a shipwreck. Her own people, swayed by a murky political plot, now see her as an enemy. Homeless and hunted, she seeks refuge at Greythorne Manor, the estate of her closest friend's family. The mansion's ancient halls offer shelter, but they also conceal secrets of their own. Pressed on every side, Aurelia fights to protect her family, the only people still left to her. The story is a sequel to Bloodleaf and follows Aurelia's dangerous inheritance as a blood witch, a secret that could cost her life yet may be the only power capable of guarding her brother, the king. Across the book, a lost love returns to her at a moment when hope seems gone.
