A dark, spicy vampire romantasy for lovers of Navessa Allen, Alex Aster and The Vampire Diaries.

A captive craving freedom, a host unmasking a lifetime of lies and a stalker waiting in the shadows. Can they survive a war that started long before their story began?

THE CAPTIVE
My life has been stolen. I've been locked away, hidden from the world that I know. They're attacking my memories and everything is unravelling, but I know enough. I'll fight for my freedom. I'll fight for her. Even if it destroys us both.

THE HOST
I thought my life was ordinary, until I found him. Now I'm questioning where the lies end and the truth begins. My fate is no longer my own. I've become bound to the very thing I was raised to fear, and forced to pick a side in a war I don't understand. Protecting him will cost me everything... but walking away isn't an option.

THE STALKER
They're mine. All of them. I've waited, I've watched, and soon the war will come to an end. Together, we'll bring the world to its knees.

The conclusion to the bestselling Red Thorne series, this dark, steamy and compelling romantasy is perfect for readers looking for:

  • Mystery to solve
  • Vampires and witches
  • Forced proximity
  • Fated mates
  • Touch her and die
  • Nicknames
  • Only one bed
  • Australian setting
  • Multiple POVs
