"Welcome to Fernglove, Edira. May you live to see something else."
Blight. Merriam-Webster defines blight as a disease or injury of plants marked by the formation of lesions, withering and death. It describes something that impairs. Destroys. Deteriorates. But, what if blight affected people in the same way.
House of Blight is book one of The Threadmender Chronicles duology by Maxym Martineau. The story evolves around the lives of a family of immortal "Evers" and their newly acquired threadmender, Edira. Threadmending is a rare ability to cure disease and heal injuries. But threadmenders sacrifice bits of their own lifespan, to help in the healing of others. And, threadmending is illegal.
Edira is a threadmender, but she has been in hiding since her aunt was taken by the Ferngloves when she was a child. Orphaned by their parents, and removed from their only surviving relative, Edira and her brothers are forced to find their own way in the world while thwarting the Blight that taken over their lands.
When Edira's brothers become infected with blight, she enters into a binding contract with the Evers in an effort to keep her brothers alive until she is able to find a cure. She is thrust into a world unlike anything she has ever known, where nothing can be taken at face value...including the people within the walls. Reflecting on the works of those threadmenders before her, Edira sets out to find a cure to this insatiable disease. But, can Edira find a way to save her brothers, and herself?
House of Blight is a must for fantasy, romantasy, and gothic romance readers. It's got the banter and longing of your favorite romance novel, infused with the magic and intrigue of the best fantasy reads.
