Description

Seven families hold a deadly contest in Ilvernath, a remote town. The Blood Moon marks its start once in each generation. Each family sends one champion to fight for high magic. This hidden source of magic is the world's most powerful. Most people think it ran dry long ago.

This time, a book tells the world about the contest. It lays bare each family's plans, secrets and weak points. The seven champions learn things that past fighters did not know. Each must choose to follow their family's path or break away.

This dark fantasy suits readers who like magic and family secrets. It also explores the drive to gain power or success. Its flawed cast must face betrayal and make sacrifices. Their loyalties shift as the plot takes sharp turns. The book ends on a cliffhanger. Amanda Foody and C. L. Herman wrote Toți suntem malefici. It marks the first time they have written together.
