Burden of Blood

The curse of blood is one only some must bear, and no one knows how it comes to be. Kaylee is a Blue Blood. Cursed with two lives and special powers the king would pay handsomely to own. Disguised as a monk, she manages to escape notice and keep the magic latent until an accident reveals she bleeds blue. Fearing for their safety, the monks banish her and as she's fleeing to find some safe harbor, she's captured by a bounty hunter.
Asher is one of the king's best bounty hunters, and his magic amulet lets him know when a Blue Blood is close. He rescues Kaylee from a handful of pesky miscreants and promises to escort her to the king where she'll be honored and revered as she serves him with her powers. When Kaylee is stolen from Asher on their way to the king and delivered to a former Blue Blood with a vendetta against the tyrant king, Kaylee and Asher must decide whether to join forces with her, or risk being executed by the king.
Learning that the king is drinking the blood of his Blue Blood slaves and slowly going mad is enough to make Kaylee agree to help this uprising queen. But when she learns she is somehow infecting others with this magical curse, she fears she'll never have the strength to accept the burden that comes with her magic. Can she cast aside her beliefs and save the people in the kingdom she's always feared?If you like high fantasy with a slow burn romance and surprise twists, pick up this book right away!
