And the Sky Bled By S. Hati

In *And the Sky Bled*, a gripping cli-fi fantasy, the crumbling city of Tejomaya is on the brink of collapse under the rule of colonizers, its fate intertwined with the magic of calor—a mystical fossil fuel harvested from the blood rains that once fell from the sky. After a devastating six-month drought, rumors of a hidden cache of this powerful magic ignite desperation among the city's inhabitants, prompting three rivals to race against time to claim it for themselves.

Zain Jatav, a resourceful thief who has spent years stealing calor for her slumlord bosses, sees the treasure as her only chance for freedom. Iravan Khotar, a cunning slumlord and revolutionary, aims to use the magic to save his people from a mysterious illness ravaging the slums and to challenge their oppressors. Meanwhile, Anastasia Drakos, an heiress and member of the ruling council, plans to seize the magic to tighten her grip on Tejomaya, ensuring that the slums remain crushed beneath her power.

As the trio draws closer to the hidden treasure, their paths intertwine in unexpected ways. Their histories are linked by a traumatic fire from a decade earlier that altered the course of their lives forever. In this searing exploration of power, trauma, and resistance, *And the Sky Bled* illuminates a world teetering on the edge of destruction, where rage and resilience intertwine in the fight for survival. 📚❤️
