Vampire Banquet

Vampire Banquet
By Sarah White

A human mage. A castle full of vampires. An invitation that was never meant to be safe.

Cast out from the Academy and marked by forbidden magic, Marius expected his wandering days to end in quiet exile.

Instead, a raven delivers an invitation to Windspire Castle - and to a gathering of ancient predators who have been watching him far longer than he knew.

The vampires of Windspire are beautiful, powerful, and older than memory. Among council lords and immortal aristocrats, Marius is an anomaly - a human raised by a demon, trained in forbidden magic, and hiding power that even monsters recognize.

What begins as a single night beneath candlelight becomes a test of strength, will, and control. A duel reveals more than Marius intended. Old eyes begin to take notice. And before the banquet ends, the court must decide:

Is he a danger...

or something far more valuable?

But Windspire is a place where power draws attention - and attention can be as dangerous as hunger. Alliances form in shadowed corridors. Ancient politics stir. And the longer Marius remains among them, the less certain it becomes that he will ever leave unchanged.

Vampire Banquet is a gothic dark fantasy romance filled with elegant monsters, dangerous courts, and slow-burning tension.

Perfect for readers who love:
