The blade should have ended him. Instead, the moment steel meets immortal flesh, a blinding mate-bond ignites. Valerian’s eyes snap open, crimson and triumphant; Brielle’s own veins burn as his cursed blood floods her system, turning her human heart immortal in seconds. The fated-mate curse—legendary, unbreakable—locks them together. Killing him now would unravel her own soul and doom her to madness.
Bound by blood and desire, Brielle is dragged into Valerian’s opulent, savage world. The Order brands her a traitor and sends her former mentor to hunt her. Valerian offers her a crown beside his throne—if she helps him crush the Order that created her. Every touch deepens the bond; every refusal risks both their lives. As war erupts between human assassins and the vampire court, Brielle must decide: complete the kill and lose everything that now makes her feel alive, or embrace the monster she was born to destroy and rule the darkness as his eternal queen.
A steamy, high-stakes enemies-to-lovers paranormal romance where love is deadlier than any blade.
