In a world where the most beautiful women are sacrificed to the Gods of Darkness, Reeve arrives at the Blood Temple dressed in mourner’s black, knowing her life is over. She would become just another meal to the deities, her life snuffed out in a crimson river as they drank their fill, her life given in exchange for her family’s continued safety. It was a simple fact of life, but it was not one she would go to willingly. As the Blood Rituals commence, Reeve is determined to escape at any cost. The price for her victory would prove to be much higher than she ever dreamed.Included in the anthology TEMPTATION and BEAUTIES AND BEASTS
