Variant Bloods
Her skin was a warm ivory color while her sparkly eyes were periwinkle blue, almost purple, which Saphrin focused on since she had never seen such vibrant colored eyes before.
After running away from home, Saphrin DiMero changed her identity and disguised herself as a male mercenary. Afterwards, she was hired by a noble family, known as the Ferdims, to be Madam Ferdim's bodyguard. Despite all this, she still fears being caught by the people who are trying to hunt her down.
Caspery Tularious, a half elf, was sold into slavery for domestic labor after the death of her mother. She has been working for the Ferdim family since she was twelve and has been treated very poorly ever since.
Everything changed when the two met each other, for better or for worse.
This story also follows the beginnings of a few other protagonists who will be main characters in the next book.
