The Fair Folk are the stuff of myth. Stories of monsters and old magicks. But all myths carry a grain of truth. That truth is that remnants of this ancient power live on in the blood of their descendants.

When Tannin's grandfather dies, he leaves her with a mountain of trouble. Between cryptic journals that warn of unknown foes lying in wait and a crippling debt owed to a cruel and formidable local Laird, Tannin is thrown into a cut-throat world where she is perilously out of her depth.

But her problems have only just begun. Secrets lurk in Tannin's bloodstream - secrets not even she is aware of. And they want out.

A scheming princess with the offer of an alliance.

A secret society with murderous intentions.

A dark past that refuses to stay buried.

Tannin's life will never be the same.

What I liked:
Tannin made this story worth the read; she is crude, brave, spits fire, and everything you want in a character. The Fair Folk are believed to be a myth, stories told about monsters and old magick. But like all fairy tales, they are rooted in something true, and Tannin soon finds out that she is a very lively fairy tale come to life. Every page of this story made me want to keep reading as we peeled back the layers of Tannin's character and what she eventually found out to be true about herself. I particularly liked the snarky sarcasm, puns, action, court intrigues, and the lbtq+ romance that was tastefully done and not overblown that overtook the story.
Final Verdict:
Remnants of Blood does end with an ending, but with a finish that leaves you wanting to follow the rest of Tannin's tale beyond what we learned in this first book. I was blown away by a self-published novel I was blown away and highly recommend this book.
