Ashling Rise, Ashling Fall. Ashling blood will save us all. Every 25 years, the Ancient families of the Nightrealm converge to begin their hunt for the Ashling. Her blood is their salvation. The key to the affliction of sunlight sizzling the flesh from their bones and confining them to the dark underbelly of the world--the Nightrealm, where monsters and madness thrive. Hannah Aurelius has never considered that she might be important until she finds herself in a room with three ancient vampires prepared to rip each other apart over her. After a brush with death, her world unravels. The Hunters of Acrecia want her put down. The youngling vampires, Teneri, want to use her as a living science experiment. The Veşnic, an old and powerful race of undead, want her hunted and drained, as their ritual demands. One among them, dark and mysterious, claims he will help keep her safe, no matter the cost, and train her to use the long forgotten magic that runs in her bloodline. Can she trust him, or will she end up trapped in his lethal, brooding clutches for all eternity?

The life of an alpha's daughter is easy- stay quiet, follow orders and pop out a few puppies when you meet your mate to continue the bloodline. I'd never liked easy. My father, Alpha Alexandros Knight is the greatest alpha in centuries- he was great because he put the pack above all else, even his only child. He expected the utmost obedience from every member of his pack- too bad I'd never been one to follow the rules. When he tries to decide my fate it doesn't go to plan... for him at least, and he discovers that although it may be a man's world, I'm not the average she- wolf and he'll never hold me down. *Book two of The Mate series. No you don't have to read the previous book.* Cover by @Ashihara.
