Count Dracula wakes up after 2000 years and the only thing he wants, desires and yearns for is to find her and make her his ;the woman he had been promised through years and years of prophecy. Yet this elf princess who captured his soul by just breathing comes with a lot of baggage in the form of curses and a destiny given mission to kill him. Erinna is the most powerful elf to have ever been born and stands by her duty. She doesn't care for fabled prophecies making her mate to the most evil tyrant to ever walk the earth which does not make sense in itself since a union between a vampire and elf will result in a curse that would wipe out both races. The only prophecy she believed was the one that said she'd kill him. What are these two going to do especially when Dracula hungers and yearns for Erinna with a desire bordering on insanity? Will she be able to fight the uncontrollable attraction and bond she has with him and not succumb to her darkest desires? I obviously suck at summaries. Just read the book.

The world had gone to hell long ago, taken over by the vampire race. In order to keep some sort of peace in our land, the Vampire Lords made a consecutive agreement. The rich and powerful humans could survive just as they had been, untouched by the vampires save for the occasional blood collections, or so they thought In reality, we were all under their control. Castles spread out throughout our land, one landing in each city. Each castle varied in the number of vampires residing there, but all of them carried a Lord. The Lords were the ones in charge in every city, whether we liked it or not. The vampires often roam through the city, making sure that everyone was in order and no one stepped out of line. If you stepped out of line, you died, end of story. Even if the rich were still under their control, their lives were still better than the poor. The poorest lives held a much worse fate. The men were to be put to work as slaves, whether that meant serving a specific vampire, or just building their castles, they were slaves. The women were to be pets. Pets were the lowest rank you could have. They were forced into cages that were too small to stand in with collars around their necks. They spent their lives in pet shops, just waiting for the dreadful day that they'll be bought. They were treated like animals, trained into what their master wanted, and punished if they misbehaved. Those who were lucky enough to live through that, we're to be slaughtered for their blood at age twenty-five in an act to make sure that our population would stay steady. I was born into this world. Born into this world full of blood-sucking monsters. Except, I was one of the lucky ones. Was. It all ended for me when I was 12, when I was taken away from the last bit of hope and family that I had left. Ever since then, I've lived in a cage, just rotting away, waiting, dreading for the day that some monster would make me his. This is my life. I am a pet. ~~~ Cover by: @mshacake

• "If you're here to kill me, do it. If you're here to ask me why I lied... I'll need forever to explain."----( Pond ) • "I looked at my best friend and saw a stranger. I looked at the monsters and saw a family. My whole world turned upside down in that alley."----( Phuwin) • "My assignment was to get close to you, to learn all your secrets. The one thing I never planned for was... you becoming mine." ---- (pond) In a modern city where ancient predators walk disguised as neighbors, one coven has found peace. Pond and his vampire family-the protective elders Tay and New, devoted couples JoongDunk and GeminiFourth-have built a quiet life, hiding in plain sight for decades. But their fragile peace shatters when retired special forces hunter Faifa moves to town. Armed with advanced technology and a personal vendetta, he represents everything they've feared. Their only advantage? His son, Phuwin. As Faifa closes in, Pond must balance protecting his family with protecting the human he was never supposed to love. And Phuwin must choose between the father who raised him and the truth staring him in the face. In this game of predator and protector, the most dangerous weapon isn't a silver stake or a resonance scanner-it's the heart that beats where it shouldn't. Love doesn't check for a pulse before it strikes.

Grad nije uvijek bio ovakav. Ili se barem Elira nije sjećala trenutka kada je prestao biti topao. Magla se pojavila tiho, ujutro i navečer, a zatim ostajala cijeli dan, prodirući u ulice, kuće i misli. Ljudi su govorili da je to samo zima, ali Elira je znala da nije. Magla skriva ljude i ono što postaju kada misle da ih nitko ne vidi. Elira je odrasla između tišine i očekivanja. Roditelji su znali što bi trebala biti, ali nikad je nisu pitali što jest. U školi je učila jezike mrtvih civilizacija i tajne zaboravljenih rituala, ali nitko je nije naučio kako preživjeti vlastite misli. Svaki dan bio je isti - ocjene, pogledi, zidovi, i osjećaj da negdje postoji život kojem ne pripada. Sve se promijenilo s Adrianom. Nije bio spas, niti greška. Bio je ogledalo. Njegove oči nudile su samo istinu - sirovu, opasnu, iskrenu. Pripadao je svijetu tišine i dima, a Elira je prvi put osjetila da je netko vidi bez potrebe da je popravi. Ispod ljubavi i odrastanja, prijetila je druga istina: Selira. Hladna, opasna, moćna,vampir. Dok Elira uči kontrolirati svoju snagu, Selira manipulira iz sjene, izazivajući opasnosti i testirajući granice moći i povjerenja. Grad nije više samo grad. Ljudi su ogledala. Elira mora odlučiti - svjetlo ili tama.Demian je bio više od običnog prisutnog. Njegova pojava nosila je težinu i magnetizam, nevidljivu nit koja je uvijek vukla Eliru bliže. Njegova energija bila je poput dima - prodirala je kroz njene misli, otkrivala dijelove nje same koje je pokušavala skrivati. S njim, Elira nije osjećala pritisak da bude savršena. Njegov pogled bio je miran, ali prodoran, i svaki put kad bi je dodirnuo, bilo je kao da vrijeme stane, kao da grad i magla nestaju na tren. Njihova povezanost nije bila jednostavna; bilo je tu privlačnosti, ali i opasnosti, jer Demian je bio vezan za tajne koje je grad skrivao, a Elira je znala da svaka njegova odluka može promijeniti sve.

The city wasn't always like this. Or maybe it was - and Elira just never noticed when the warmth disappeared. The fog came quietly. First in the mornings, then in the evenings, until it stayed long enough to settle inside people's thoughts. Everyone blamed the weather. Elira knew better. Fog doesn't just hide streets... it hides who people become when no one is watching. She grew up surrounded by expectations, but never by understanding. Her parents knew who she should be - never who she truly was. At school, she learned the languages of the past and the secrets of forgotten rituals, yet no one taught her how to survive her own loneliness. Every day felt the same. Until it didn't. Adrian didn't save her. He didn't ruin her either. He simply saw her. And sometimes, being seen is the most dangerous thing of all. But love is never the only story. In the shadows of the city waits Selira - cold, powerful, and ruthless. A vampire who doesn't just hunt bodies... she hunts destinies. As Elira begins to discover the strength inside herself, Selira moves her pieces from the dark, turning trust into a weapon and hope into a weakness. And then there is Demian. His presence feels like gravity - impossible to escape. There is comfort in him, but also danger. He is tied to the secrets of the city, to the past Elira doesn't remember and the future she may not survive. With every choice he makes, everything can change. This is not just a story about love. It is a story about identity. About the thin line between light and darkness. About the moment you realize that monsters don't always hide in the dark... Sometimes, they live inside the people you love. And sometimes - inside yourself. - Elira Ravenwood
