The Last Blood Map of Saint Mercy

Storm-barrier cartographer Zora Baptiste carries a living map of every future flood in her blood. The Carnival of Thorns forces her into seven public survival rounds beside Lucien Vale, a disgraced vampire prince whose consensual feeding reveals both the city’s escape routes and buried memories of Zora’s mother. As a supernatural hurricane swallows Saint Mercy, they must break the court’s blood tax before Zora is drained into a permanent navigation engine.
