Maeve Rowan trusts the evidence.
Not legends. Not folklore. And certainly not the disgraced theories surrounding a substance no one has ever proved exists.
Then a man is found dead inside a sealed Compact vault.
His body is human.
His blood says otherwise.
The impossible signature points toward Firstborn blood, an ancient substance whispered to exist before the supernatural world divided itself into human, vampire and witch.
Maeve does not believe in myths.
Dr. Callum Rook has spent most of his life trying not to believe in this one.
His father's obsession with Firstborn destroyed a distinguished career, and Callum has no intention of repeating his mistakes. But when the evidence begins matching theories everyone dismissed decades ago, Maeve and Callum are forced to follow it.
Their investigation leads through forgotten blood routes, illegal medical research, hidden treatment rooms and security systems built centuries before the Compact.
Someone has discovered how to make blood borrow another species' welcome.
And if blood can fool the locks protecting the supernatural world, then no vault, archive or sanctuary is truly secure.
As the case grows more dangerous, Maeve must decide how much evidence should be protected, how much truth should be exposed, and what to do about the increasingly inconvenient fact that Callum Rook is becoming much harder to keep at a professional distance.
Some blood opens doors that should stay sealed.
Blood Relic is Book Two of The Sanguine Compact, a paranormal romantic suspense series featuring supernatural investigations, slow burn chemistry, dangerous secrets and ancient blood magic.
