A Path of Blood and Amber by Nikki McCormack

Raven was eight when her parents were murdered. Now it’s happened again. Her guardian murdered. Their home destroyed. She can hunt and fight, but life in isolation hasn’t prepared her for survival outside the forest.

The magic within her makes her a target for execution by the Silverblood Brotherhood, an institution that regulates such powers with an iron fist. Having never spoken to a stranger before, how can she hope to navigate a world where anyone might turn her in for that magic?

Before his death, her guardian dreamed of living somewhere Raven would be safe and accepted. Maybe she can still find that, if the Brotherhood doesn’t find her first.
