They Drained Her Blood… Now They Want Her Alive

She was sold as a servant. He was never meant to notice her. But the moment her blood touched him— He could no longer let her go. Lyra Valen was born from a sin she never chose. As a half-blood witch, the illegitimate daughter of a servant and a powerful noble, she grows up in poverty, burdened by debt and hatred. After her mother’s death, Lyra is sold to a royal magic academy in Scotland—not as a student, but as a servant. Invisible. Disposable. Worthless. Until the day everything changes. When Lyra is injured, her blood accidentally heals someone—and exposes a secret that should have stayed buried. Her blood can save lives, but every use leaves her weaker, closer to collapse. Worse, her touch reveals fragments of people’s pasts, uncovering truths no one wants known. In a world built on lies, Lyra becomes a walking threat. Kael Draven, the kingdom’s most feared young knight, never cared about someone like her—until her blood saves him. From that moment, something shifts. Not just in his mind… but in his body. He can feel her. And he cannot let her go. As Lyra is dragged into academy politics, dangerous experiments, and the attention of powerful families—including the one that abandoned her—her existence becomes a prize worth fighting for. But the more she uncovers, the clearer the truth becomes: Her blood doesn’t just heal. It binds. And in a world where power decides everything… Lyra may be the most dangerous existence of all.
