The Bleeder (2021)

by Jeff Somers
(#7 in The Ustari Cycle (Short Story))

In the world of blood magic, Bleeders are often treated like livestock -- sources for sacrificial blood. When Lem Vonnegan makes a desperate decision to join a risky magical heist, his refusal to bleed anyone but himself for his spells puts him in conflict with the rest of the team.
