Publisher's Description

 The Blood Moon rises. The Blood Veil falls. The Tournament begins.

Every generation, at the coming of the Blood Moon, seven families in the remote city of Ilvernath each name a champion to compete in a tournament to the death.

The prize? Exclusive control over a secret wellspring of high magick, the most powerful resource in the world--one thought long depleted.

This year, thanks to a salacious tell-all book, the seven champions are thrust into worldwide spotlight, granting each of them new information, new means to win, and most importantly: a choice - accept their fate or rewrite their story.

But this is a story that must be penned in blood.

My Thoughts

I received an ARC courtesy of Tor Teen in exchange for my honest review. (Actually, I received 2 ARCs and an eARC via NetGalley.)

Give me book 2 and give it to me now!

A magical Hunger Games is already going to be a great sell for readers. But I do think this has more depth than Hunger Games. Is some of the pacing a bit slow as we have to get introduced to the characters, setting and story? Yes. Is it utterly predictable who will die? Yep. But there is something about the blurred lines of good and bad that make this truly captivating.

For Libraries: The hype of this book is going to be huge around publication time, so you are going to want this book. Plus, it's good!
