Bloodkin Chronicles: Bonds of Chains

Forty-two days ago, Eli Veyr watched his father die. The Order called Thomas Veyr a traitor. The city called his execution justice. Eli has spent every day since trying not to become the kind of man who answers grief with blood. Then gravity bends around him. In a single moment, Eli becomes everything his father was accused of being—and everything Avarra has been taught to fear. Now the city is watching. Its streets remember faces. Its machines remember names. And the deeper Eli is forced into the parts of Avarra most people never see, the harder it becomes to tell where his father's secrets end and his own story begins. Thomas left behind enemies. He also left questions. And somewhere between the two is the truth about what Eli has become. In Avarra, power always comes with a price. Some chains are forged. Others are inherited.
