Beneath a Mourning Sky - The Dark Between, #1 - E-book - ePub

"He was dead-and strangely, I couldn't recall why I should care." When Clìana Goddan's tutor deems her a master healer, relief washes through her like a flood. Finally, at four-and-twenty, she has the title she needs to escape her grief-stricken life in the Daor highlands and pursue a position at imperial court. But before leaving for Alamada Palace, she receives an unexpected gift: a grimoire filled with the secrets of bloodcraft-an ancient, forbidden magic. At first, Clìana puts the book from her mind.
Bloodcraft may grant supernatural power over the body, but those who wield it often lose themselves to madness, and Clìana has no interest in tempting such a fate. That is, until her future at imperial court hinges upon healing an incurable affliction .
