Erin is a university student who kills people for no other reason then she wants to. Nate is a fellow student who also wants to, but his conscience gets in the way. So Erin, having discovered Nate's desires and wishing someone to share her double life with, has been secretly plotting to drive him over the edge so as to help Nate embrace his bloodlust. But when Erin meets and falls for Eve instead, the wheels of Nate's descent into darkness that she set in motion keep turning, leading to consequences she could never have seen coming. A twisted romance/psychological thriller journey with surprisingly likable characters given the subject matter. Credit Cover: @Elvira_Wych

PREVIOUSLY TITLED 'BLOOD THRONE' { Wattys 2018 'The Originals' winner } Shadows trail Rhaessa wherever she goes. Whether that's her magic or past, she can't seem to escape them. Wrestled into a corner with only one way out, she embarks on a journey to uncover the truths of her vicious kingdom. Varyn walks a very fine line in the royal courts, finding herself at the mercy of the King's whims, where one wrong move can have terrible consequences. When a string of murders is committed inside the castle walls, the time is ticking for her to put a stop to it before chaos erupts. Two women are forced to uncover the blood, bones, and treachery that built their kingdom and line the throne. The stakes could be their lives or worse. Much, much worse. War? That doesn't quite cover it. TW: violence, implied SA, and mentions of suicide/depression. This story is heavy and has some dark themes. *** Disclaimer: although I made the cover myself, I do not claim to have made any of the beautiful art used on it. If it's yours please dm for credit or removal!***
