Darken_city
When a duke is murdered beneath a blood moon, Kyle, heir to the Vampire Lord, swears vengeance. The only clue leads him to Asaichasta - the city of whispers, where bloodlines rot behind golden walls and the stars never sleep.
They say the Mage of the South kills without touching.
They say her blood burns brighter than fire.
They say she's coming for the Vampire Lord and his heir.
But along the way, Kyle finds something he didn't expect - Niamh, a quiet star worshipper whose eyes gleam with the light of another world. She is the true killer of the duke and was sent personally by the Blood Mage who rules Asaichasta. Niamh speaks of omens, of the stars shifting in warning, and of a prophecy that began long before his birth.
As the moon turns red again and the lines between hunter and hunted blur, Kyle must decide what kind of monster he's willing to become - and whether the girl who prays to the stars is the key to saving them all... or the reason the world burns.
