Living a life on the run has become routine for sixteen-year-old Nyah Carter and her adoptive father, Danny. All they have to do is lay low, try to blend in and hope their past doesn't catch up with them. When it does, they’ll do what they always do: Pack up and disappear to some other city, some other school and add a new beginning to the same, old story.
But when Nyah makes real friends for the first time in her life, she must decide whether to keep running, or embrace the ancient Agojie warrior legacy she was given and fight. A decision she knows could end up getting her killed.
The Blood She Left Me is a fast-paced story of love, betrayal and vengeance that will keep you reading until the end. A thrilling tale that brings the legendary Agojie women warriors of the African Dahomey Kingdom into a modern-day world.
