When her sister is lost in a bet with a god, Arwin is forced into a deal.
The rules of his bargain are simple: act as his thief in the Divine Rites and earn her sister's freedom.
But fail, and her life will also be his.
As a Shadow of Fain, Arwin is used to capturing targets and solving her own problems. But when her sister is lost in a bet with Varance, the God of Choice, she is forced into a deal to save her. Arwin chooses to become Varance's thief in the Divine Rites-a game of heists played across the realms. Assigned a team of four infamous beings, who all serve Varance, Arwin sets off to steal precious items from each of the other realms' Divine.
While learning if she can trust the team she finds herself tethered to, Arwin navigates deadly magic and political complications that could affect them all. Having grown up as a human in Fain, Arwin knows little of the lives and customs in other realms-and she quickly realizes her lack of knowledge may be her downfall.
When her role as a Shadow conflicts with the new bargain she's made with Varance, Arwin must decide where her allegiance truly lies. When new secrets surface, Arwin must find a way to complete the Rites and save her sister, while seeing if she can manage to keep her status as a Shadow-and stay alive in the process.
By The Blood is the first book in The Divine Rites, an adult fantasy series for readers who love epic adventure, magical realms, and the search for identity, all wrapped up in a story about how far we will go for the ones we love.
