Part II of V: This dark fantasy novella is the second part of the complete first book of Blood of the Banshee. This is Part 2 of a 5-part serial novella. It ends on a cliffhanger.

If you would prefer all five novella parts together, the complete first volume is out now (Blood of the Banshee: Complete Volume I).

When a banshee-blooded outlaw is snatched in a crowded inn, she becomes leverage in a legal battle amongst the Valariels of Sanctaris. Bindings hold her between life and death, and rival orders contest her fate. The Justarin demands custody while others fight to spare her.

Zaras reaches Ebanferon and is compelled into floor duty at the Black Lantern inn, where an alchemist named Master Dran asks after Quin and his Beastronomicon. Auralon settles his fines under Druna’s stare in the Sanctaris library before reporting for a weary shift into wards that smell of lavender tonic, used bandages, and boiled cabbage.

Across the world of Elisar, dragons vanish, necromancy resurges, and plagues are spreading like ink in rainwater.

Blood of the Banshee: Part Two blends grim magic, political intrigue and gritty, character-driven drama. For listeners who enjoy their fantasy unpredictable, their heroes flawed, and their antagonists certain they’re right.

Content warning: The path through Lunaaris and Sanctaris is paved with violence, corruption, and death. Blood of the Banshee is written for mature listners and contains dark, emotionally heavy themes throughout.
