Some bonds are forged in fear. Others in blood.

The world ended once, in fire, fallout, and the birth of creatures that should never have existed. Their blood kills. Their presence scars the land. Most people fear them.

Haven does not.

She lives among the trees in a secret community that has learned not just to survive the chimeras, but to work beside them. When a threatening message leaves her no choice, she captures the one man rumored to have dedicated his life to understanding the mysteries of hematology.

Dr. Ashton Hayes wants nothing to do with secrets, villages in the sky, or the fierce girl who stole him from his research. But the deeper he's pulled into Haven's world, the clearer it becomes that something is terribly wrong.

In a landscape where a single drop of blood can mean death, trust may be the most dangerous risk of all.

Chimera's Blood is the first book in the Age of Chimeras trilogy.
