Initiates Dara and Wynne face their Rite of the Faithful with a shared determination to succeed. However, their motivations could not be more different.
For Dara, every day is haunted by her former life as a miner, when days were spent toiling in the dark with calloused hands. To pass the Rite and ascend as a Blood Mage will mean leaving her past behind for good. Meanwhile, Wynne's eyes are ever on the future. Becoming a Flame Mage will free her from the expectations of her high-status birth, allowing her to spend her days serving as a healer.
Their unusual rite - to stop the mysterious slaughter of a village's livestock and investigate rumors of an impossible source of mana, the fuel used for magic - sends them on a journey across the world of Llendshold. As they traverse the Nomridian Forest, land the Fae, sail through the treacherous Zanerian Archipelago, and delve deep underground to the Dwarf city of Yuvsgrend, their loyalty to the Quinarium, the organization which promises to see their dreams come true, is shaken to the breaking point.
Will they complete their Rite and ascend as the Quinate's Faithful?
Blood & Flame is book one of The Quinate's Faithful, a fantasy trilogy filled with powerful mages, action packed adventures, and a touch of slow-burn romance.
