Blood Debt

BLOOD DEBT
Book Three of the Kope River Series

Unified command was supposed to be the hard part. It isn't.

Three weeks into ruling Kome and Boateng as one house instead of two, Akosua and Kwame are still learning what it costs to hold a single front - paperwork, pride, and a bond the Tether never asked permission to deepen. Then Afua finds a line of ink in the old ledger that predates both their houses' written history, and the floor of everything they thought they knew gives way.

The leopard bloodline was never native to this land. It was taken.

Generations before the treaty, before the Tether-law, before either house had a name, an exiled line of hunters carried the claim into the Kwabena Forest by force - torn from a people, or a power, the valley has spent nineteen generations trying to forget. Mmusuo was never random cruelty. It was grief, old enough to have outlasted every alpha who ever ruled here.

Now something patient enough to wait two centuries has decided the houses are finally strong enough to break.

Akosua and Kwame have survived a forced bond, a cousin's challenge, and a lie buried for nineteen years. What's coming for them now doesn't want territory, or vengeance, or even blood. It wants the debt paid - and it's done waiting to collect.

Blood Debt is the explosive third instalment in the Kope River Series - a West African paranormal romance of ancient claims, impossible loyalty, and a bond that was never just about survival.
