Chains of Blood plunges the Dominion saga into its darkest and most intimate chapter yet. Torn from their homeland and scattered across the Atlantic, Ayana, Kofi, Babacar, Sewa, Ama, Musa, Sarafina, and the others awaken in a world shaped by brutality and fueled by profit. Louisiana plantations, Caribbean barracones, Brazilian sugar engenhos, and the shadowed rooms of New Orleans become the new arenas of their survival. Each character faces a different form of bondage, each carries a piece of the kingdom they lost, and each confronts the terrifying truth that the world intends to erase who they were.

While the chains around them tighten, the ties between them deepen. Far from home, the stolen forge hidden networks of resistance through whispered signals, coded songs, hand-stitched fragments, and unbreakable memory. Ayana learns to move within the gilded rooms of New Orleans without losing her soul. Kofi fights to stay alive in Tennessee, clinging to the sigil she placed beneath his tongue. Sira studies the art of survival under a courtesan’s tutelage. Ama weaves armor disguised as scars. Bakari listens to the earth itself. Across continents, they begin to sense that their individual suffering is shaping something far larger—an underground heartbeat that refuses to die.

Chains of Blood is not the story of rebellion—it is the story of recognition. It marks the moment the stolen understand the depths of the world they have fallen into, the machinery built to break them, and the truth that their freedom will not be given but must one day be taken. Bound by pain but connected by an ancient bond stronger than any chain, they begin the long, brutal journey toward the uprising that waits in the shadows of War of the Stolen.
