Blending fantasy and science fiction, N. E. Davenport’s
fast-paced, action-packed debut kicks off a duology of loyalty and
rebellion, in which a young Black woman must survive deadly trials
in a racist and misogynistic society to become an elite warrior.
It’s all about blood. The blood spilled between the Republic of
Mareen and the armies of the Blood Emperor long ago. The blood
gifts of Mareen’s deadliest enemies. The blood that runs through
the elite War Houses of Mareen, the rulers of the Tribunal
dedicated to keeping the republic alive. The blood of the former
Legatus, Verne Amari, murdered. For his granddaughter, Ikenna, the
only thing steady in her life was the man who had saved Mareen. The
man who had trained her in secret, not just in martial skills, but
in harnessing the blood gift that coursed through her. Who trained
her to keep that a secret. But now there are too many secrets, and
with her grandfather assassinated, Ikenna knows two things: that
only someone on the Tribunal could have ordered his death, and that
only a Praetorian Guard could have carried out that order. Bent on
revenge as much as discovering the truth, Ikenna pledges herself to
the Praetorian Trials—a brutal initiation that only a quarter of
the aspirants survive. She subjects herself to the racism directed
against her half-Khanaian heritage and the misogyny of a society
that cherishes progeny over prodigy, all while hiding a power
that—if found out—would subject her to execution…or worse.
Ikenna is willing to risk it all because she needs to find out who
murdered her grandfather…and then she needs to kill them. Mareen
has been at peace for a long time… Ikenna joining the Praetorians
is about to change all that. Magic and technology converge in the
first part of this stunning debut duology, where loyalty to
oneself—and one’s blood—is more important than anything.
