Quote:Betrayed by allies and aided by enemies, Valerie Darkmore's life has twisted into something she no longer recognizes. It's time to decide where her loyalty lies, and what-or who-she's willing to sacrifice to save the people she loves.

Her blood magic has been kept on a tight leash since her initiation, but no more. The cities are drenched in blood, old family secrets are revealed, and with evil staring her in the face from both sides, Valerie will make a choice that rocks their world to its core.

The only remaining question is, who will be left standing when she does?

Ruthless Ends is the fourth book in the dark fantasy romance series, The Marionettes.
