Blood Scion – Following one girl’s journey of magic, injustice, power, and revenge (Hardback)

Our summary description

As Independent Scottish booksellers, we write all of our descriptions personally, we hope you enjoy this one.

Sloane has learned how to survive by hiding what she is. As a Scion, descended from the Orisha gods, her power is enough to get her killed under the rule of the Lucis, who hunt magic wherever it appears. For fifteen years she keeps herself small, silent, unremarkable.

On her birthday, that illusion collapses. Dragged into the Lucis army and forced to endure its brutal training, Sloane recognises a grim opportunity. If she cannot escape the system, she can learn its weaknesses. Pain becomes instruction. Obedience becomes disguise. Rage is carefully banked.

As she is pushed beyond endurance, Sloane begins to understand what the Lucis have made of her, and what she might choose to become in return. Power is no longer just something to conceal, but something that demands direction.

Blood Scion is a dark, driven novel about injustice and resistance, rooted in Yoruba inspired mythology. It follows a girl shaped by violence who refuses the role assigned to her, and who learns that survival and revenge can grow from the same fire.
