A STUDY OF POISONS BOOK 3
_____

Vampires are ruthless and should be eradicated- that is the old way. I vowed to protect both humans and vampires. However in the modern world, tradition still finds its way around us.

Delia Petri, has lived many lives. The Keeper, the Traitor, the Judas Witch- and now she has opened her eyes and will live a new life. As the Duchess of Night, ruler of witches, and Alex's soon to be bride.

Tradition is divided as the Keepers have fallen, while some of them take safe hold in the Night Court- others have sided with Natalia. While Delia learns how to deal with her new powers and understand what it truly means to be a Conduit and a Vampire- Alex is slipping into the darkest parts of his madness.

Will Delia be able to stop Natalia once and for all or will the Duchess of Night fall to the blood she will drain?

_____

Things are different, Alex will never be the same and neither will I. We fell in love with the idea of each other but it's not the love either of us desire, I'm afraid he has his grip too far around my neck. Whatever happens all I know is that I'm going to kill Natalia.

I am Delia Petri, I am the Duchess of Night.

Niccola is a demi-queen undercover in enemy territory. Her little sister went missing seven moons ago, but one lead remains: a picture of a woman's face, drawn by a diviner shortly after the disappearance. Tracking her down has led Niccola to Calis, the realm next door whose border with her own remains closed for a reason. There, the trail goes cold. Until, that is, Niccola runs into a man in the marketplace who bears a family resemblance to the woman she seeks. His name is Isaiah, crown prince of Calis, and he's investigating disappearances, too. They join forces, faking courtship to sneak Niccola into the palace and get Isaiah's wedding-minded mother off his back. It doesn't take long to suspect that a common threat might underpin both their realms' problems. And as Niccola begins to develop real feelings for Isaiah, she's faced with an impossible choice: reveal her secrets and risk breaking his trust, or leave him in order to chase down the woman who stole her sister... a woman whose forbidden magic comes with a cost that could bring both realms to ruin. ❖❖❖ Complete and fully edited.

After a tragic car accident claims the life of her best friend, Daphne is haunted by Death's cold shadow. Night after night, she dreams of the Final Horseman, cloaked in darkness, silently reminding her that her fate is no longer her own. The Veil is no mere boundary-it is a living realm teeming with power, a dark reflection of both life and death. In this twilight world, cities rise and fall, while every shadow hides a secret. The dead, the damned, and the defiled are locked in a delicate struggle for control. At the center of it all stands Daphne, the Mistress of the Veil, bound by necromantic powers gifted to her by Death himself. Her task? To maintain balance in a realm ruled by chaos, betrayal, and ambition. But when political factions from the Order of the Coven and infernal forces vie for control over her prophecy, Daphne is thrusted into a complex web of deceit.

Together, they offer Daphne guidance-or so they claim-on how to harness her powers as Mistress of the Veil. But who among them truly seeks to help her, and who seeks to control the very realm she is meant to protect? As the Veil begins to bleed into the mortal world and time runs out, Daphne must confront not only Death but her own inner darkness. The greatest battle she will face is not with the forces that seek to rule the Veil, but with herself. Will Daphne embrace her destiny as the Mistress of the Veil, or will she succumb to the ever-growing shadows threatening to consume her-and the world as she knows it?
