Part of This Poison Heart
First published 2022
Briseis has one shot at saving her mother's life, and it requires something nearly impossible: locating the final fragment of the Absyrtus Heart. The relic is scattered, dangerous, and wanted by people who will kill to claim it. To even begin her search, Briseis must seek out blood relatives she has never met, people who carry secret powers passed down through an ancient lineage she is only now learning is her own. They offer her knowledge, connection, and a place inside a sisterhood built on old magic. But her enemies are moving fast, and they have no intention of letting her reach the Heart first. The fates have already mapped out where this road leads, and the destination looks like loss. More heartache. More death. Briseis has to decide how much she is willing to risk for the people she loves most, and then she has to find a way to be strong enough to survive it. This sequel to "This Poison Heart" pushes Briseis deeper into Greek mythology, family legacy, and the cost of power.
