Although tempted to run by the village boy she loves, Sloane knows that her fate is at Avalon, where they train child soldiers for their army to serve as fodder against the shadow rebels fighting against the Scion and Yoruba genocide. Trying to escape her fate in the military would mean death not only for her, but for all the people she cares about. As the next day dawns her 15th birthday, she becomes eligible for the military draft - and when some boys try to flee theirs, she is one of the names chosen to become a child soldier for the Lucis. If anyone knows of her powers, it could mean death for her and her family. She is a Scion, a descendant of the Yoruba people gifted with magic from the Orisha, and currently hunted by the Lucis. She escapes when her magic fends him off for her, and she returns to her village. Sloane is nearly 15 years of age when she is assaulted by a soldier while she searches for her mother's body. BLOOD SCION is a riveting and atmospheric YA dark fantasy.
