The Blood That Chose No Master

Sarah has spent her entire life learning one lesson: survival means never giving anyone enough power to control you.

She knows how to adapt. How to disappear into whatever version of herself the people around her expect to see. And most importantly, how to keep everyone far enough away that leaving won't hurt.

Then one impossible night destroys everything she thought she knew.

A brutal attack exposes a world that was never supposed to find her-one filled with ancient bloodlines, witches, Fae, creatures that shouldn't exist, and secrets her own family has spent years helping to bury.

And somehow, they all seem to know Sarah.

Ancient wards react to her. Forgotten symbols match the tattoos covering her skin. Magic recognizes her before she understands how to recognize it herself. Even more disturbing, pieces of her past begin surfacing in places they have no business being.

Then there's James Blackthorne.

Dangerous, infuriating, and far too observant, James belongs to the supernatural world Sarah has just discovered. He understands its rules, its monsters, and the consequences of the power beginning to wake inside her. But unlike everyone else determined to tell Sarah what she is-or what she belongs to-James does something far more dangerous.

He gives her a choice.

As buried histories begin unraveling and ancient powers turn their attention toward her, Sarah discovers that her existence is tied to something much older than anyone is willing to explain. Bloodlines want to claim her. Magic wants to answer her. A Crown she never asked for waits somewhere in the shadows.

But Sarah has spent a lifetime surviving people who thought they could decide her future.

They're about to discover just how badly they underestimated the woman who refuses to belong to anyone.

The Blood That Chose No Master is Book One of The Refusal Legacy, a dark adult paranormal fantasy romance filled with ancient magic, supernatural bloodlines, hidden histories, sharp humor, slow-burn tension, dangerous secrets, and a heroine whose greatest power may be her refusal to surrender her choice.
