Blood and Bellows: Some inheritances aren't a gift. They're a decision waiting to be made. - Couverture souple
Synopsis
The ordinary life she built was always a lie. The power she buried is waking up. And the woman who trained to stop her is the one she trusted most.
Branwen has spent her whole life making herself small. As apprentice to Hollis the smith in the village of Aldermere, she has worked hard at being unremarkable, at keeping the questions about her mother sealed behind years of careful avoidance. Ellinor is gone. Whatever she carried is gone with her. Branwen is iron and ordinary and safe.
Then a gryphon crashes near the millpond, and every careful lie she has told herself goes up in flame.
The flare brands her as a carrier of the Emberwyn bloodline, one of the founding lines the kingdom has spent decades quietly erasing. Within days, riders from the Circlet arrive to take her to Camlough for training, and Branwen, who has never wanted any of this, is given a choice that is barely a choice at all.
At Camlough, the training is rigorous and the secrets run deeper. Regent Aldric Payne arrives with a courteous offer and an iron will: let him crown her as a figurehead, lend her bloodline to his regency, and in exchange she'll have comfort, safety, and a future. It sounds almost reasonable. That's what makes it dangerous.
When Branwen refuses, the courtesy stops. Payne's riders intercept her on the road. Confinement replaces negotiation. And on the northern border, a manufactured confrontation is building that could spark the very war the Circlet has always claimed to be preventing.
But Branwen is not waiting to be used.
She carries her mother's flame-stamped hammer north, past the border, into the Fellmarch, to a people the kingdom calls its enemy and who remember the Hollowing and the founding war differently than any official history she has ever been taught. What she finds there is not the threat she was prepared for. It is the truth about who her mother was, why she ran, and what the Circlet was willing to suppress to keep it buried.
Blood and Bellows is a YA fantasy novel for readers who love:
Reluctant chosen-one protagonists who earn their power rather than simply receive it
Layered antagonists whose arguments are uncomfortably close to reasonable
Found family dynamics forged under pressure, with Cai, Tristan, and Rook pulled into orbit by Branwen's relentless trajectory
Historical mysteries threaded through epic fantasy worldbuilding
Female protagonists who ground their identity in craft, legacy, and hard-won self-knowledge
Perfect for fans of Spinning Silver, The Midnight Kingdom, and A Memory Called Empire, this is a story about what happens when a girl built for a small life discovers that the people she trusted were keeping the biggest secret of all.
She came to Camlough to learn control.
What she learned instead was why her mother ran.
And she brought her mother's hammer home.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - Branwen Ashford has spent twelve years making sure nobody looks at her too closely.She's the blacksmith's apprentice in a village that's never had cause to expect anything remarkable - quick hands, sharp tongue, a mother she barely remembers and has trained herself not to ask about. It's a small life. It's hers. It's safe.Then a wounded gryphon crashes into the hills above her village, and her hands heal it without her permission - glowing with a fire that isn't supposed to exist in her at all.Within days, Branwen learns the truth her mother died keeping from her: she carries the blood of a founding royal house believed extinguished fifteen years ago, hunted nearly to extinction by the very people who now want to train her. Swept from her forge to a citadel full of magicians and old, watchful power, she has to master a strength she never asked for - while a Regent circles her with a crown dressed up as a gift, and the truth about her mother's death waits somewhere north, in territory her own kingdom has spent fifteen years lying about.Branwen didn't ask to inherit any of this. But she's done letting other people decide what her blood is for.A YA fantasy about the weight of what we're born into, the cost of convenient lies, and choosing - deliberately, at real cost - who you become.Perfect for fans of An Ember in the Ashes and Sorcery of Thorns.
