A decadently dark romantasy with witches and vampires
A decadently dark romantasy in which a hidden witch is unmasked and forced to become a living weapon for a vampiric king and his brooding brother.
Finn Erramun hides a perilous secret. One of the last witches in the kingdom, she was cast out from her village, leaving whispers of an unleashed otherworldly terror in her wake. Now a maid in the opulent court of the vampire King Mordric, Finn conceals her arcane powers, dreading the day they might be uncovered.
But destiny has other plans. When Mordric uncovers Finnβs talents, he offers her a chance for redemption: master her magic by the summer solstice, and she may earn a coveted seat on his council. Assigned to guide her is Prince Enhart, the kingβs captivatingly arrogant younger brother and one of the rare souls with the skill to train her.
As Finn is drawn into a whirlwind of courtly intrigue, power plays, and dangerous temptation, she finds herself at a crossroads. To secure her place among the kingβs elite β and perhaps win his heart β she must navigate a labyrinth of treachery and unearth a centuriesβ-old conspiracy.
The vampires of Valen may not crave blood, but their thirst for power is no less consuming. As Finn delves deeper into their seductive and perilous realm, she will need every ounce of her strength and cunning to survive β and to uncover the true nature of her heartβs desires.
