Raven is a half-vampire, half-fae hybrid living in the slums of Valderno. Orphaned as a child during a royal purge, she has survived for years by thieving, fighting in illegal blood pits, and hiding her true nature (hybrids are considered abominations, subject to immediate execution). Her only goal: stay alive long enough to find a way to kill the king who destroyed her family.
Raven surrenders herself to save the Horsemen, but she doesn’t go as a prisoner. She’s spent the second half of the book secretly learning to control her hybrid powers—including a forbidden fae-vampire ability called Blood Weaving , which allows her to manipulate life essence itself. In the throne room, she doesn’t kill the king. She unmakes his immortality, turning his centuries of stolen power into ash while the Horsemen break their oaths with the force of her magic.

The book ends with the king’s tower collapsing, the Four Horsemen free for the first time in 500 years, and Raven standing in the rain covered in royal blood—not as a victim, but as a new, terrifying power in Valderno.

The reign of blood has only just begun.” If you’re looking for the EPUB or PDF, you can purchase Blood and Reign legally from platforms like , Apple Books , Kobo , or check if your local library offers it through apps like Libby or Hoopla .
