Sanguinist, researcher, and tea connoisseur Nyraleth Aevensong is on an adventure, and she doesn't like it at all. Nyraleth had long known that "adventures are what get people killed," so she avoided them in favor of steady blood magic research and endless pots of tea. Yet, when her friend's letters stop coming, she sets out (not on an adventure!) to get him out of whatever trouble he's gotten himself into and drag him back home as soon as possible. She doesn't expect to be mixed up with duty bound Oathed, happy-go-lucky rogues, and a conspiracy that goes beyond a blood drinking murderer... Avoiding adventures might be harder than Nyraleth thought. Sanguine Scenario is the first book in a non-romance adventure fantasy series, featuring competent characters, friendship, and friendly banter.
