I'm reading
Bleeder tonight, it's last in the series I have been reading this week.
The King of Garrick wants to kill her.
The King of Allel wants to love her.
And shapeshifters stole her baby's soul!
A hundred years after sea-level rise and global nuclear war wiped out most of humanity, Mallory is a chalice, one of the world's rare fertile females. Chalices live under the protection of Red City, which contracts with the kings of the Concord Cities to provide natural-born heirs.
It's a pampered and easy life - until Mal is caught between one king's lust for world domination and the goddess Asherah's desperate plays for another god's attention.
When Mal's undeclared - and forbidden - feelings for King Edmund grow too strong to be denied, she must confront the truth of her past and the most terrifying threat of all -- the inevitability of her destiny.
