To save the world from darkness, she stole its essence.
But fate doesn't follow rules. It rewrites them.
And now, she must mend what was broken—but how could she, when her memory is gone.

Mahena wakes in Fanhalen with no memory of how she got there—only visions of a past that doesn't feel like hers and remnants of magic that stirs at her touch. On Earth, she was ordinary. In this world, she is something… more. Something cursed. Hunted. Necessary.

Forced to rely on two enigmatic twins, Emmerentia and Fàaran—war-broken, fiercely loyal, and hiding secrets deeper than scars—Mahena is pulled into a journey across kingdoms teetering on the edge of ruin. One twin guards her. The other watches her too closely. Both may be lying.

Together, they must journey across a kingdom broken by war to the Scholar-Kingdom, the last stronghold of arcane knowledge. There, the truth behind Mahena's identity—and what she was brought to Fanhalen to do—waits beneath wards the heir to its throne sold her soul for to build.

As their bond deepens and buried memories resurface, Mahena begins to question whether the greatest danger lies ahead—or inside her.

But in a realm drowning in shadows, one truth remains:
Power never vanishes. It only changes hands.

A Curse of Blood and Power is high-fantasy with absolutely killer world building. Parallel universes, shifters, magic, no magic, royalty... this story has it all. - Amazon review

A Curse of Blood and Power is easily a 5 star read for me. It has chapters from multiple POVs which makes it even more interesting and overall it was just a really entertaining read with found family tropes, unknown secrets from the characters' pasts and an amazing magical world. - Goodreads review

I absolutely need the second installment in this series. Viviene Noel has dropped a masterpiece in to our hands and you will NOT want to miss this one. - Goodreads review
