Meg Corbyn is on the run, with a deep secret. She’s a blood prophet, a young woman gifted with the ability to foretell the future by spilling her own blood. She isn’t is a free woman, though; she was raised by a corporation, her flesh sold for the use of the highest buyer. Now she is stolen property.; she’s stolen herself away, and found a perfect hiding place, within a community of creatures who have never even pretended to be human.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Written in Red<\/em> is a vivid urban fantasy from epic fantasy staple Anne Bishop. Fans of Bishop’s writing will find some familiar elements, as will urban fantasy fans. The addition of a heroine addicted to self-mutilation, a new interpretation of shifters and vampires, and Bishop’s stellar prose, are sure to keep readers interested. Very much recommended for public library collections and fantasy\/dark fantasy\/urban fantasy fans.<\/p>\n

\nContains: language, violence, self-mutilation, sexual violence
