The Blood is a Christian medieval fantasy, the long-awaited sequel to The Tree, and continues the story with familiar and new characters.

In the wake of civil unrest, a new queen ascends the throne of Rehlen. Enemies and allies alike threaten to shatter the fragile peace—and the queen herself. 

The captain of her guard would do anything to protect her. Then he finds himself entangled in his past and the treason of an elusive sorcerer, and it isn’t clear whether sacrificing himself would save her or damn her. 

 An emissary sails into the southern sea, on mission to secure the future of his country. Afflicted by grief and otherworldly darkness, he struggles to navigate the uncharted waters of his soul.

Following in the footsteps of writers like Michael D. O'Brien and Natalia Sanmartin Fenollera, Denise Mallett represents a new generation of gifted Catholic storytellers. In The Blood, Mallett once again demonstrates her unique ability to unsettle her readers, charm them, and fill them with hope.

Mallett's prose is a joy to read—beautifully written, compelling, the characters believable. Highly recommend!
—Ellen Gable, award-winning author

I was held captive, constantly wanting to sneak away time to read it, staying up until the week hours to finish it. This story finds its way deep into the reader's heart. It is woven with characters who truly come to life, with the splendour of beauty amidst dark shadows, and will lead you to ponder the meaning of suffering, the depths of mercy, and ultimately cling to the promise of healing.
—Carmen Marcoux, author of Arms of Love and Surrender
