The Bloods Trials by N.E. Davenport

Send us Fan MailTextual Deviants is back and better (read: rustier) than ever! In our much anticipated return to our textual roots, we tackle a listener suggestion, The Blood Trials by N. E. Davenport and from us to y'all, Mrs. Davenport might have just ate! Don't let the stunning cover or description fool. This is no YA novel, more like Adults ONLY! We follow Ikenna, our protagonist, (and fellow vaguely Naija gyal!) as she tries her best to figure out who killed her grandfather in the novel with a sci-fi/fantasy landscape. To make matters worse, the only way she will be able to figure it out is to pledge to participate in the Praetorian soldier (blood) trials, in order to get closer to the people she believes ordered the hit. Even worse? She has to manage to hide her blood gifts all while desperately trying to remain alive herself.Dive into Ikenna's world of the Mareenians and Khanaians with us as we discuss this weeks book deviation, The Blood Gifts by N.E. Davenport!
