A review of the first twenty-five pages. 
 A violent struggle of lust and power is destroying all that is good. Only the prophesied queen can restore order, but she is young, and many will seek to influence her. 
 The first 25 pages of Daughter of the Blood contain smoking, killing, gruesome genital related torture, groping, nudity, sexual bondage, prostitution, and a post sex scene. How virginity is lost seems to be very central to the story. 
 I chose not to finish this book and can not speak to the nature or quality of the rest of it.
