Forged in Blood Paperback - Dark Contemporary Romance
Forged in Blood is the first book of the Forged trilogy!
Trust no one. Want nothing. Survive everything.
These are the rules that kept Isobel Ashthorne alive long before she ever set foot inside the pristine halls of Blackmoore Academy. A place where knives hide behind perfect smiles and nothing is quite as it seems.
Thrown into a world of wealth and opulence, Isobel, who’s more used to crumbling walls and neglect than lavish luxury, must find her way in a life she never could’ve dreamed of.
But soon it’s not just trauma from her past she’s trying to overcome but a darker game of power and secrets.
At Blackmoore Academy, the reigning four boys are determined to make one thing clear. She shouldn’t be here.
But as Isobel navigates their cruelty, alliances form and walls are broken down. A split-second decision changes everything. Lines distort, loyalty shifts, and enemies blur into something else. Now the danger is no longer just coming from them, but from the shadows closing in on all of them.
The monster she escaped from in her previous life isn’t finished hunting her.
A battle is coming.
There will be blood, but who will shed the most? And who will be the one to fall?
