A crime against all—stealing one's life blood.
It prolongs life! It gives strength and power. Such exotic luxuries come at a high price. Those who have been drained? "Donors" but not quite volunteers. That's why they're kidnapped, never to be heard from again.
Taken from their families and removed from existence.
Who would do such a thing? Do the ones paying for this blood know where it comes from?
Which crime is greatest? The Magistrate is called in to end the nightmare, but she can't do it alone. Rivka enlists the aid of two with the most intimate knowledge.
The Magistrate heads out to dismantle the Blood Trade, going for the throat of both buyers and suppliers. The perpetrators have money and power and won't easily give them up.
Magistrate Rivka Anoa is the legal eagle you want on your side. No better friend. No worse enemy.
