Vile & Blessed (Book 1)

There has never been an Anmerilian born without ability.

 

Never, until River Kennry.

 

He is an outcast, afflicted by an ailment no one can see or explain. After a fated meeting with a cryptic stranger, River realizes the only way to uncover his past is to return to the Institute—the very place that scarred and violated him. And if he goes back, it could mean forfeiting his life.

 

Though he remains untouched by power, there’s something sinister lurking inside him... something alive.
