Bloodlines

She was born with the moon in her blood. Now it is waking.

After the Kingsbridge, Daniel Dunnellan and Samantha Skywolf have earned their peace: a house by a lake, a wedding under the moon, and a child on the way. Then a village burns beneath a red dragon that is no red dragon at all, and healers begin to die along the Moon Road, each with a single wound.

The trail leads north to the silver elves of the Greywillow, to the mother who left Samantha when she was seven, and to a secret kept for thousands of years. The silver in her blood is waking. And something at the bottom of the world has felt it.

Something waits beneath the dark-elf city of Xal-Vorrath. It hungers for the light. It hungers for the child. And it has been waiting twelve thousand years.

To save their daughter, Daniel and Samantha must go down into the dark together, with dragons at their backs, and do the one thing no one has dared in all that time.

What the moon gives, the blood keeps.

Bloodlines is Book Two of the Ashen Accord, the epic fantasy series that began with Dragonsworn.
