An heir in hiding. A monster becoming. A love written in blood. A century ago, the witches' throne fell in fire and ash-destroyed by vampires in a ruthless purge that left the bloodlines broken and forgotten. Raven De'Blanc was never meant to survive.

Until Eric Harman stumbles into her path. A newly turned vampire with a silver tongue and a smirk that hides far more than charm. He's bold. Annoying. Infuriating. But Raven can't ignore the way his presence ignites something wild inside her-something dangerous. Because behind his cocky grin lies a darkness that mirrors her own... and secrets that could destroy them both. Enemies by blood. Bound by fate. As Raven hunts for the truth behind her kingdom's fall, and Eric battles the hunger clawing at his soul, their paths twist tighter-until hate begins to blur, and desire bleeds through their scars. But in a world where betrayal runs thicker than blood, can a witch queen love the enemy who carries her people's curse in his veins?Complete
