Seraphina becomes queen, ruling beside a husband who hungers for power and blood. Rowan, hardened by exile, fights to survive while clinging to memories of the woman he loves. When rebels rise and the king plots to kill Seraphina, Rowan returns to the palace, risking everything to save her. But fate is cruel. As swords clash and kingdoms burn, Seraphina must face the ultimate choice: her crown, her people, and the love of her life.

41 parts Complete Mature
Some loves don't die. They kill. In the year 1703, in a city drowning in secrets, she walks like a shadow wrapped in silk. Lantern light flickers against rain-slick stones, and behind every painted smile lurks a silence sharpened like a blade. A vampire, cursed with a hunger deeper than blood, she craves the taste of betrayal most of all. When passion turns to treachery, knives glisten and roses decay. Every whispered vow carries the weight of ruin, and every crime of the heart must be paid in blood. The streets themselves seem to hold their breath, as if waiting for the echo of footsteps that will decide who survives the night. Love here is never gentle. It is a wound disguised as devotion, a promise that cuts as deeply as it embraces. And when the final bell tolls, choices will stain more than lips-they will stain eternity. But in love's darkest hour, is she the victim... or the executioner?
