Varud - the only vampire kingdom in all the lands, and also the richest kingdom, human or vampire. Its princess is the beautiful but incredibly bratty and condescending Zera, who has always believed her city would stand forever in its glory. Until it is razed to the ground, that is. Forced to flee and abandon everything she has ever known with her maid, Miranda, Zera must travel into the Black Mountains, where evil dwells as thickly as oxygen does in the air.
Enter Quartz, a strange human boy who appears to be more powerful than even Zera. Now, as the truth unravels before her, and the puzzle comes together piece by piece, Zera faces more dangers than ever. Soon, she will be forced to answer the one question that will tip the fates of her world - what will she give up, in order to have her deepest desires come true?

Her life is down in the dangerous Sparkstone mines, slaving away for a few coins that her stepmother and stepsister promptly steal. With life a living hell, she has barely enough energy to care for the injured animals she tends in secret, much less a party for the royal family that cares so little for her and the people like her. It isn't until a mysterious man appears out of the shadows, claiming to be one of the long-lost faeries and offering her a chance at freedom, that she begins to see hope. In exchange for enough money to free herself from her family, the faerie asks only for one thing in return-- that Cole attends the ball in order to get close enough to the prince to assassinate him and bring an end to the corrupted royal line. With her mission clear, Cole enters the world of the palace to learn about the prince and find a way into his ball. But dark secrets, violent plots, a strange sense that perhaps the prince isn't as bad as the faerie makes him seem, and a life-changing discovery about her past, all conspire to make Cole's shot at freedom messy and difficult. She must find the strength to get close to the prince, or else the mysterious faerie will send her back to the mines and her dreadful family. Once the clock strikes midnight... she must fulfill her end of the bargain. Once the clock strikes midnight... her hands must be red with the prince's blood.Complete

Beneath Black Banners
In a kingdom torn apart by war, General Kael Vireon, feared commander of the ruthless Black Banner army, is known for leaving nothing but ashes behind. His enemies whisper his name like a curse-especially Princess Elira Thorne, heir to the throne of the resistance kingdom of Avaria, whose brother was killed in one of Kael's raids. When Elira is captured during a failed infiltration mission, Kael spares her life-not out of mercy, but strategy. He offers her a dangerous deal: help him uncover the truth about a growing rebellion within his own ranks, and he'll end the war with Avaria peacefully. Bound by mutual hate and forced proximity, they embark on a journey across hostile territories and political intrigues, where betrayal lurks behind every shadow. As tensions rise and secrets are uncovered, Elira discovers that Kael isn't the monster she believed-and Kael realizes that Elira's fire may be the only thing strong enough to melt the ice around his soul. But with kingdoms at stake and loyalties tested, love may become the most dangerous battlefield of all.
