THE BLOOD WITCH (The Osseous Chronicles #2)
Release Date: March 27, 2021

About the book:
I never saw it coming...the bones...the magic...the betrayal. 

It’s no longer a question of who I can trust—the answer is no one. Now, it’s about survival. 

I’m in the heart of the Order, trying to solve a series of mysterious disappearances, while doing everything that I can not to become bait. 

Enemies are circling, and they can’t seem to decide if they see me as a pawn or as a threat. Oh, and there’s that little issue of being tethered to Rogan, who I now want to kill. 

It’s time to figure out just what I’m capable of though. Because fool me once...shame on you. But fool me twice...and I will crush your bones to dust.

Meanwhile, she strives to understand her bond with Arcturus, which grows stronger by the day. But there are those who know the revolution began with them-and could end with them...
