Bleeding Ink

Bleeding Ink Full Description

***Welcome to the Of Darkness and Light Trilogy!  (And yes, it turned into a trilogy while planning it out...just like I had a feeling it would...ha!)

This is a spinoff series of The Crowns series, but you don't have to read them to understand what happens in this series.  I do, though, highly recommend you read them, though, since we'll been seeing previous characters, lands, and worlds we explored in that series.  

Should you want to, the books in order are: 

Map of Ember and Moonlight

Crown of Beauty and Vengeance

Daughter of Tide and Illusion

Song of Blood and Reign

Land of Light and Shadow

Hope you love them just as much as I do and will come to love this series and characters also!  

Happy reading, as always!
