Daybreakers ( Book One in the Daybreakers Saga)

"Sold to a vampire prince. Bound by fate. Their love could burn down an empire."

Ten years after the "cure" for COVID-19 shattered the world, humanity has fallen to the monsters it accidentally created. Professor Whitmore's tragic experiment-meant to save millions-unleashed a new apex predator instead. Now immortal vampires rule the ruined future with iron fangs, prowling both day and night in sunlight-shielded cars and glittering daylight rings, while the last living humans hide, hunted and harvested like cattle.

Seventeen-year-old Emma Carter has survived it all-loss, abandonment, and a life spent burrowed in the underground refuge known as Haven Ridge Base. Feisty, stubborn, and defiantly human, she knows how to fight the dark. But when one reckless mistake leads to her adopted father's death, Emma is captured, branded, and sold to one of the most powerful covens in Meridian City: the Blackthorns.

Her new master? Salem Blackthorn-the brooding, unwanted heir to the vampire empire, bound to a cruel wife, and shackled by ancient expectations. Cold. Controlled. Deadly. He's the only royal who can destroy her... or protect her.

But the moment their eyes meet, something ancient awakens. Something forbidden. A bond woven long before the world burned.

As Emma is pulled into the glittering nightmare of vampire high society-jealous lovers, hidden rebels, silk-wrapped treachery, and monsters far more feral than nobles-she discovers that the greatest danger isn't the empire that owns her.

It's the prince who shouldn't want her... and the spark between them that could ignite a revolution.

She was never meant to save anyone.
He was never meant to feel anything.
But every dawn begins with a fire-and theirs might burn the world clean.
