There's no denying that. But that propensity for darkness? It's inside her. Forged into her bones from ages past through an ancestral line that is littered with massacres and wars. With the awakening of the Sires, life as everyone knows it is on the brink of change. Pursangs, salsangs, supernaturals, and humans alike will be touched by it, but as always, there are two sides. Good. Evil. But when good is tinged with evil, and evil is tinged with good, which side is truly the best option? Is there a compromise that could be reached? A way out that isn’t lined with bloodshed and death? How much evil would you tolerate for the greater good? Find out more in Stained Bonds, the FOURTH book in the Salsang Chronicles. less

With good and evil morphing into an entity she can't clarify, Marcella seeks answers from another source--Merlin himself... moreWith Marcella's destiny having found her, there's no where else to run.
