Crimson Bound by Rosamund Hodge


Rachelle doesn't always believe the warnings that her Aunt Leonie is constantly drilling into her mind.  She knows she shouldn't walk in the forest alone because there are dangers, and those dangers could cost her life, or other's lives as well.  The forestborn and woodspawn are dangerous to any human, and the few humans that survive suffer horrendous consequences.  

Rachelle makes some terrible mistakes, and in order to recompense her sins, she tries to protect her town from the dreaded woodspawn.  She draws the attention of the king who orders Rachelle to be a bodyguard to his son.  

Rachelle knows that the Devourer will be returning soon.  She knows that the Darkness will soon take over, and there will be no more light.  Her Aunt Leonie warned her that this would happen, but she didn't take the old woman seriously. Now her aunt is dead, and it is Rachelle's fault.  She has a duty to stop the Devourer, and she doesn't have time to be a bodyguard to the King's spoiled son.  The future of the world depends on her.  

She knows the forestborn who "owns" her will be returning soon to help the Devourer return to power and eat the sun.  She must find the sword that will end the Devourer's life.  Can she trust Armand, the king's son, to keep his mouth shut?  As a matter of fact, who can she trust?
