The Bloodline

The test that names how you die was broken once. It did not stop. It only changed.

Elias Carrow has been the cause of two deaths and committed neither. A year after the lie was broken - after the world learned the test could be wrong - the company that sells the future can no longer whisper its victims toward their endings. So it has begun to do the work another way. By hand. Down the bloodlines of the people it could never read.

And the line runs forward.

Somewhere ahead of Elias is a girl he has never met. Fifteen years old. The same unreadable blood in her veins - the next name on a map the company has been quietly thinning for generations. They have already sent a kind man to her door. Elias and the one man who has survived all of it have days, maybe less, to reach her first.

What they find is not a defect, or a gift, or even a thing at all. The company's own scientists looked for it once and gave up, writing in a sealed file: we are mapping a hole. Because the secret of the unreadable was never a mutation. It is only this - that they have not yet decided who they are. And a person who is not yet finished cannot be read, cannot be aimed, and cannot be stopped.

To keep one girl unfinished, this family will have to spend the only things they have left: their silence, their safety, and one life freely given. The Bloodline is the third book in the Blood Series - a thriller about inheritance, free will, and the oldest fight there is: the one between the people who must know the future and the people who refuse to let it be written.

Book Three of the Blood Series. Some blood cannot be read.
