"Monsters are not born; they are made. And if I must wear the name, then let it be for what I choose to become-not what my blood demands of me."

- Penelope Hanover, Shadows of the Bloodline

Seventeen-year-old Princess Penelope Hanover lived a life overshadowed by unanswered questions, haunted by her father's abandonment and the secrets he left behind. In the spring of 1813, she entered London society, embracing the elegance of debutante life, only to have her world upended during a brutal vampire attack at Lady Danbury's gathering. That night, Penelope uncovered a terrifying truth about herself: she was a rare and dangerous hybrid, born of witches and vampires.

Struggling to control her newfound powers, Penelope found an unexpected mentor in Sophie Baek, a vampire-werewolf hybrid who helped her navigate the complexities of her dual nature. But it was Sophie's enigmatic brother, Silas, who awakened feelings she couldn't deny, even as her childhood confidant, Colin Bridgerton, brought new tensions and hidden truths into her life.

As hunters closed in and whispers of her father's dark return threatened everything she held dear, Penelope faced impossible choices. Could she protect those she loved, or would her monstrous heritage doom them all? With danger looming and her heart torn, Penelope's journey was only beginning. Nothing in her life would ever be the same again.
