The Bloodweaver: An Epic Fantasy

A divisive magic. A shattered family. A brewing war.

In a world where some can manipulate life with a single touch, siblings fight on rival sides, forced to reckon with the choices that led them there.

Three generations ago, ancient and mysterious beings introduced the world to the arcane art of Bloodweaving, which allows its practitioners to manipulate life with merely a touch. Now, Bloodweavers must hide in plain sight or risk being hunted by violent regime soldiers known as Breakers, who will stop at nothing to eradicate weaving once and for all.

Though his family's vineyard has flourished thanks to Bloodweaving, Kerick DeLuvena has kept his powers a secret from everyone, including his beloved fellow triplets, Mel and Emiel. When a squad of Breakers arrives on the day of Emiel's wedding, Kerick weaves himself a new face and flees to protect his family, setting out in search of the Ravel, a secret society of Bloodweavers who stand on the precipice of an uprising.

Meanwhile, Mel's girlfriend is identified as a Bloodweaver and arrested. Devastated by so much loss, Mel hatches a plan to get captured in the same raid, hoping to protect her love at all costs, even if it means allying herself with the Breakers' ruthless commander and serving the very force that tore her family apart.

As the consequences of the siblings' diverging paths ripple across a divided and hostile world, both must eventually face the same question: Is Bloodweaving a miracle--or a curse?

The gripping debut of the Weaver Saga is perfect for fans of V.E. Schwab, Andrea Stewart, and Fonda Lee.
