A Kiss Before Dusk [BOOK 1]
In a kingdom where sunlight ruled and secrets festered beneath silk and stone, a princess lived behind walls built to protect her from the world-and from herself. Her days were scripted, her smiles practiced, her future sealed in ink and royal blood. But beyond the garden wall, past curfews and caution, something ancient stirred. A presence forgotten by time but remembered by shadows. He was a creature of night-cursed, hunted, and hollowed by centuries of silence. A vampire whose name was feared in legend and buried by decree. When their paths crossed beneath a blood-moon sky, fate did not ask permission. It only demanded a price. This is the story of Seraphina, the girl born to wear a crown, and Lucien, the monster taught to hate it. And how love, when truly forbidden, becomes the most dangerous kind of magic.Complete
