About this Event

Sixteen-year-old Mari has learned how to survive loss—but not how to live with it. After the death of her nana uproots her life, Mari is thrust into a world she doesn’t understand: wealth, secrets, and an ancient magic tied to grief itself. When she begins sensing forces no one else can see, Mari learns she is a Bloodwright—someone whose power is forged through loss. As supernatural factions close in and the truth a|bout her family begins to unravel, Mari must decide whether grief will consume her… or become the very thing that saves her.

The Bloodwright Chronicles is a young adult fantasy romance series blending supernatural intrigue, slow-burn romance, and themes of grief, belonging, and identity. Across the series, Mari will unravel the mysteries of her family’s past, navigate fragile alliances, and confront the dangerous truth of what it means to be both human and something more.

Books will be available for sale and signing.
