The Dread Descendant (The Dread Descendant, #1)

by Lauren Cate Leake

“In a desperate hour, your Prince of Darkness will return. Through a broken line of Magic, into unsuspecting veins. His life will call like to like in those where Magic blood remains. The Descendant of Dread will conquer the plague of the Promised Land, with a single finger, not a sword. Rejoice, child of golden blood, freedom shall be yours. On backs and broken necks will balance be restored.”
