The Bloodlines of Sahael Volume Three Book One The Divine Blood (AUTHORS CUT) EDITION (Copy)
The wings did not ask for permission. They simply came through.
In The Divine Blood, the first book of Volume Three of The Bloodlines of Sahael, Heziara of the Hausan is eighteen years old and has been raised in deliberate silence on the estate of Madame Martha. The Educator who has watched over her since she was three years old has carried her secret without speaking it aloud, because what she did not know could not be taken from her. Then the rebellion breaks on the estate. The fires come. And through the smoke and the blood and the breaking cellar door, her wings emerge.
She flees with Educator Munai through the Dale Mountains and the dying marshlands of Abingdale, hunted by Lope Mastiffs, bounty hunters, and the colonial militia of Abingdale at every step. Madame Martha will never stop sending hunters. And the bounty placed on Heziara is not only about recapture. It is about what her organs carry. It is about what her blood is worth to those who harvest the enslaved to extend their own failing lives.
Admiral Abdul carries her across the Nuberian Sea. She arrives in the Mountainous Lands with nothing but the wings on her back and a destiny no one has fully explained. Prince Vadas, stepson of King and Queen Vadas and the only member of the royal house who chose exile alongside her, stands with her in Mayon as the grey blanket of Greyfall descends across the skies.
Then Eli comes. Seven feet tall. Black wings spread wide. Infected by the white darkness. Sent by King and Queen Vadas to drag Heziara back to Abingdale in chains. Above the Mayon clouds, the Black Madonna fights her first true battle. And wins.
The Chosen Right of Election now belongs to her. The throne of Nuberia is within reach. And the long return of the Hausan bloodline has officially and irreversibly begun.
The Divine Blood is the first book and Author's Cut Edition of Dwayne A. Madry's mythic saga, drawn from Kemetic, Yoruban, Hausan, and Sumerian history. Witness the rise of the Black Madonna.
