"She was promised to a prince. But taken by a monster who calls himself king."
In a realm ruled by blood and empire, twenty-four kingdoms bow to one throne - and at the center of it sits Emperor Zareth Ravaryn, a vampire older than most dynasties, cold as obsidian, and feared as much as he is obeyed.
Princess Serenya of Vayrana was never meant to catch his eye.
Gentle. Devoted. Already betrothed to the human prince she loved from afar.
But one imperial ceremony changed everything.
When the Emperor sees her - veiled in gold, eyes full of light - he names her his future Empress.
She refuses.
He doesn't ask twice.
Now torn from her homeland and chained in silk and duty, Serenya finds herself in a court of shadows, where power is worn like perfume and secrets drip from every whispered bow.
But Zareth is not just the monster she feared.
He is obsessed.
And his obsession doesn't break... it consumes.
As the blood empire trembles under rebellion, forbidden longing ignites between captive and captor, and the girl who once dreamt of love must decide:
Will she fight for her freedom-
or burn for his throne?
Dark fantasy meets imperial seduction in this slow-burn vampire romance - with original lore, dangerous rituals, forbidden love, and a heroine who was never meant to kneel.
Welcome to the Empire of Thorns. Where love is a game only monsters win.
