Sir Valeir Beaufort, vampire nobility, is on the run. His only companion? A woman trained to hunt and kill his kind. 

The betrayal that forced Valeri to flee for his life is only a small part of a much larger conspiracy. The tentative peace between humans and the supernatural creatures that live in Samodevia's shadows is under threat. Who is it that wishes to push the kingdom into war, and what is their final purpose?

***

[Sequel to SERPENT'S KISS] 

Ira Hale is branded a traitor and a killer for saving the life of a vampire. Hunted by the people she once served, Ira must uncover the truth behind the atrocities at Beaufort Manor in order to save her friends and clear her own name. Sir Valeri Beaufort, Ira's once-employer and now sort-of family, joins her quest, seeking vengeance against the people who burned his life to the ground.

The Kingdom in Samodevia is in turmoil. Ira and Valeri must navigate a treacherous road in their search for answers. Allies are not easily told apart from foes - all approach with smiling faces, but may hide knives behind their backs.

Echoes of oncoming war find their way to the Kingdoms Below, into the ears of the Queen of Hel and her court of powerful misfits. When Gabriel Todd returns with news of treachery in the lands Above and asks for help in saving a human soldier who carries Gabriel's soul, Hel must decide whether to become involved in Samodevia's politics or retain neutrality. 

And where, all wonder, is Samodevia's Queen?

❝ Let's find you a new home, shall we? ❞ •○• A cold Shifter General. A bloodthirsty Vampire Prince. A powerful Fae King. A mysterious protective werewolf Alpha. And a human girl. The question was - why were the strings of fate bringing them together? •○• 18 year old, sharp and vigilant Cara Arnel was one step away from slavery freedom and being sold. And being caught by the Shifter General of the Vampire Army was most certainly not a part of that plan. Nor was becoming a scullery maid or an assaulted slave in the Royal Palace instead of a blood bag or sex slave. But that was when things started to change. Tensions became high and fights broke out in the unstable supernatural world with the return of Lucifer's son: Killian after more than four centuries. Her visions started again. And a bit too many supernatural males were willing to protect her for no reason whatsoever. Turns out, Cara might not be as insignificant as she thought. Yet, she was undoubtedly human. And it seemed, she wasn't as well informed of her past as she thought. If her memories were the ones to be relied upon. At least.......the ones she had of this life. •○• Shortlisted for Wattpad India Awards 2021 (Please don't copy the story line. It's all mine. A figment of my imagination.

[Watty's Shortlist & WATTPAD PICKS -- Up and Coming List 06.07.2018] Now Available on Amazon!!! His hands moved down to cradle her neck. "I only have one request if you're going to keep me in suspense all day long." "What's that?" The movement of her lips drew his eyes down. "Let me kiss you again?" That voice, breathy and low, set Taly's heart racing. His lips twitched at the corners-he could hear it. Now that he could use his magic, he knew exactly the kind of effect he was having on her. But he didn't move. He waited. Her choice. She set the pace. Taking a shaky breath, she jerked her head. Yes. *** Magic marked her for suffering. Magic will save her. Magic will lead her home. On Tempris, time magic is outlawed, and suspected time mages are hunted. Humans are second-class citizens, shunned by the immortal fey that live on the island. They even have a name for their kind: Shardless. Taly is one of the lucky humans. Taken in by a fey noble and his family, she's lived a good life, surrounded by people she loves. But when an accidental brush with magic causes her to see things -- ghostly apparitions that give her small glimpses into the future -- it has deadly consequences. The Sanctorum has returned to the island, and if they find her, they'll kill her. And anyone that tries to protect her. This includes her best friend, Skye. He was the boy that saved her. The man she knew she could never have. And when he refuses to let her go, their actions might hold the power to reshape the world. An ancient evil is rising, and in order to protect those that she cares for, Taly will have to sacrifice everything. Including her heart.
