Mercy finds herself on a ship bound for the Ashen capital with her companions. Pyron has been chosen by the dictator to lead a mission of peace to the northern kingdom, and to also hunt down the murderous traitor responsible for the death of Pyron’s young wife. But things don’t go smoothly in the Ashen capital after Mercy, Mirilee, and Erebus decide to sneak ashore to take part in the festival surrounding the naming of the city. They get more than they counted on when they accidentally witness a public execution of Sylvan Islanders, and Mercy is captured after being mistaken for a Sylvan spy! And, where is Erebus?
Dark and sinister secrets are revealed on the perilous journey to the north, and Erebus is forced to confront his inner demon, while Mercy discovers a demon of her own. Both demon’s are allowed to play when the ship is attacked by the very traitor Pyron is hunting. The nights are watched over by a full blood moon, considered a dire omen. And in the midst of it all, Mirilee has a dark vision of the war they are trying to prevent.
I live in South Carolina with my husband and daughters. I graduated from the University of South Carolina with a BA in Media Arts and an English cognate. I started out as a graphic designer and then changed professions when I realized that writing was my calling. I enjoy reading, gaming, anime, manga, and horror.
Most recently, I was one of the top 5 finalists in the Jim Henson's Dark Crystal Author Quest, and my story "Chosen" appears in the ebook Jim Henson's The Dark Crystal Author Quest: a Penguin Special from Grosset & Dunlap, published in 2014. I have been writing for 10 years and have several short stories published. You can find "Hemophobia" published in the anthology Courting Morpheus in 2006, "Marrow" in the anthology Deep Space Terror in 2010, and "Sleep Like the Dead" in the ezine New Bedlam: Town Archives Volume 2 in 2012.
Blood Moon, the sequel to Blood Rain, is even more exciting than the first book in the series. The cover art really blends in well with the art on the first book too. I’ve grown to like Mercy even more throughout this book than I already did in the first, and the author does a phenomenal job expanding on the world she established back in book one.
Mercy is on a ship bound for the Ashen capital. Mercy, Mirilee and Erebus sneak ashore to go to a festival, but things go wrong lightning fast when they witness a public execution and Mercy is captured.
I really enjoy the dynamics and interactions between the characters, in particular Mercy, Mirilee and Erebus. Each of them will be forced to confront some inner demons along the way, and fight their own battles to grow stronger. I don’t want to give away too much of the story since it’s a sequel, but I was suprised by some of the plot twists, in a good way.
