A Steeping of Blood
Synopsis
Arthie Casimir has recovered from the night that nearly killed her, and she wants revenge. White Roaring is in ruins after a deadly night of violence. The press are dead, the public demands justice, and vampires across the city are in danger.
In the middle of the turmoil, the Ram announces a celebration. Arthie has no time to grieve anyone, herself included, and no time for love, though love is what kept her alive. New feelings and new allies are pulling at her all the same.
Her crew is scattered. To fight one last time she has to gather it again and make something of the little the crew has left. That also means facing the ghosts of her past, and the road leads to Ceylan.
This is a sequel to A Tempest of Tea and picks up directly after that book's ending. It is a vampire fantasy with a romantic thread, a crew of allies and a tone of tension and intrigue. Expect a story of twists and danger, with a city under pressure and a heroine short on time.
