Restore the spring of life! Losing her beloved father scarred Mara. She held tight to her mother, half-brother, and the unknown grandfather who showed up in the wake of her father's death. He never explained his absence. She never asked, valuing him as a link to her dad. Until her dying grandfather asked her to go on a quest for the conquistador who, centuries earlier, stole the spring of life. She agreed, never guessing that the quest involved deep, dark secrets about her father-and herself. Moving and powerful, Water for Blood features compelling, complex characters facing generations-old evil.
