The Blood Lottery

Waking the Dark

By: K.N. Lee

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

In a world of elves, dragons, and dwarves, Veruth was once the seat of power for humans.

Now, they toil in the mines and on The Wall as slaves for a race of elves who draw their power from the sun. Ava--a human living in the slums--knows one thing; she will not be forced into the Blood Lottery. Though she is of age to be matched with an elven suitor, her heart craves freedom. There are legends and myths about what lies beyond The Wall--tales of an ancient evil, and when it reaches out to her, there is no going back to her old life.

When she enlists the help of the rogue rebel leader, Kem, she's faced with two paths; one leads to an elvish Royal, and one leads to the mysterious Sky Keep where magic and discovery await.

In this dystopian land of humans, elves, faeries, and gnomes, Ava discovers her awakening is one of prophecy--a prophecy of the final battle between the light and the mysterious entity simply known as The Dark.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Half-Blood Dragon comes an epic dystopian fantasy that critics are calling The Hunger Games meets Game of Thrones. Perfect for fans of Carnival Row and Shadow and Bone.
