Please welcome The Brotherhood of Blood by J.S. Living in the spotlight!
The Brotherhood of Blood is an urban fantasy novel with historical figures, unique lore, and a slow-burn romance. Mihnea Cel Rau Tepes has spent his life trying to make a name for himself in The Brotherhood of Blood. When prominent members of the supernatural community wind up dead, and their daughter comes looking for answers, he’ll find more than he bargained for.
What would you do to forget the past and gain power and prestige?
What would you give up to find the person who wronged you?
And, if it came down to it, who would you be more likely to trust: Your estranged family or your lover?
Mihnnea Cel Rau wants to find the people who framed him for murder. He wants his sister to kick rocks and die. And he wants to know the truth about his past.
But some questions have a price. And, sometimes, they’re better left unanswered.
Whether you’re here because you’re looking for a fall read or because you just need the next installment in the Bloodlines series, today is your lucky day!
The Brotherhood of Blood is an urban fantasy novel, that features a murder plot and historical figures living their lives in the modern world. The novel is best classified as New Adult, although it is appropriate for those at least sixteen years old with parent supervision. This campaign is for the first edition eBook format only and will be available in Epub and PDF. The book will be delivered via Bookfunnel and is estimated to be 150 pages.
The author is raising funds to bring this project to life and continue creating stories in The Bloodlines Series. There are plenty of backer rewards, including prints, audiobooks, and add-ons.
