His body is human. His blood says otherwise.
Witch and forensic archivist Maeve Rowan trusts the evidence. But a dead courier inside a sealed Compact vault leaves her with results that should be impossible-and a connection to a missing blood relic labelled FIRSTBORN.
Her best chance of understanding it is Dr. Callum Rook, a human archaeologist whose father's obsession with Firstborn destroyed his reputation. Callum has no intention of repeating his father's mistakes. Now the evidence is drawing him back into the same dangerous history.
Maeve insists on a complete record. Callum has already recognised something he hasn't told her.
She needs his expertise. Working beside him is making it increasingly difficult to keep their relationship professional. And the closer they become, the more his silence threatens the trust growing between them.
Someone has discovered how to make blood borrow another species' welcome.
If blood can fool the ancient locks protecting the supernatural world, no vault, archive or sanctuary is secure. Following the trail means uncovering forbidden research, confronting a legacy Callum cannot escape, and deciding which secrets must finally be brought into the light.
Some blood opens doors that should stay sealed.
Blood Relic follows Blood Alibi as Book Two of The Sanguine Compact, with Maeve and Callum taking centre stage. A paranormal romantic suspense novel featuring slow-burn romance, dangerous secrets and ancient blood magic.
