Series background & context
The Blood Lily Chronicles, also published under the Redemption Chronicles name, follows Lily Carlyle, a young woman who dies trying to stop a stalker. Instead of staying dead, she wakes up in another woman’s body, with a deal on the table.
Lily is recruited as an assassin for the forces of good, tasked with hunting demons and earning her way toward redemption. The catch is that “good” and “evil” don’t stay clean categories for long, especially when she’s living someone else’s life.
Every mission costs her something.
The series mixes urban fantasy action with romance and moral gray areas. Lily is tough, but she’s also constantly negotiating grief, anger, and the question of whether she’s saving the world or just feeding her need for revenge.
Across Tainted, Torn, and Turned, the stakes escalate from personal survival to a wider supernatural conflict. Relationships shift, allies become complicated, and Lily’s choices matter in ways she can’t always predict.
Start with Tainted and read straight through for the strongest arc. It’s best for readers who want paranormal adventure with sharp emotional edges and a heroine who refuses to stay a victim.
