From Hell comes a woman, and her name is Roman Redhelm. When chaos strikes a small village, three teens are abducted from their home and thrown into the deadly world of the Nightingale assassins. A biblical allegory haunted by childhood delusion, ambition, and sin, these teens must confront their bloodstained histories—and survive the lethal assassins as penance. An orphan. A pacifist. A warrior. Confronted by a sacred religion and powerful magic, the three must uncover hidden truths and decide what sacrifice entails. In the world of Nightingales, they must fight for their lives or lose their humanity. A peaceful continent sentenced to war. The ghost of a mythic hero. An unchooseable fate. Bound in Blood explores the price of youth, and the horror it contains.

Requirements & Requests

Hi there! Though I am posting this as just a second draft, I am so excited to hear feedback. I am looking for "big picture" developmental edits, like plot consistency, character arcs, and pacing. Additionally, I'm looking for things like redundancy, poor writing quality, and any overall feedback. Anything you have to offer would be a significant help!

Comparable Stories:

Though the first in a trilogy, this book can be compared to the thrills of "Throne of Glass", characters of "Six of Crows", and inspired by many tales of the Bible in both New and Old Testaments.
