The Bloodborn
Kausha, a member of the Bloodborn people thousands of years old, has the ability to control her blood.
Central to the first ritual in recent memory, a ritual where the blood, skills, and talents of previous generations are passed down through Bloodborn women, Kausha must rush home before it begins. But there's a catch conveniently hidden from her throughout decades of training: memories and emotions are passed along as well, and one thing overshadows all of the rest, forcing her to act.
On her journey across Uradaria prior to the ritual, three traitorous sorcerers, who turned their backs on the Bloodborn long ago by delving into the darker side of blood magic, do everything in their power to stop her from achieving her goal. As if the threat from the sorcerers wasn't enough, new friends along the way reveal a history riddled with murder and genocide at the hands of the Bloodborn - a history directly at odds with the one she was taught all her life.
Destiny and duty to her family guide Kausha home, but even after witnessing a friend's death, fighting gigantic acid blobs, evading a mythical creature, and escaping slavery, the journey home is the easy part - what comes after might break her, along with the land of Uradaria, in turn.
