For centuries, witches and vampires have been bound by hatred, their kingdoms locked in a war that has clamied more lives than either side can count. Trust is impossible. Peace is a fantasy. And love? Forbidden.
Princess Maggie Vera has spent her life carrying a dangerous secret. To the world, she is the heir to the Witch Kingdom-powerful, beautiful, and destined to inheirt the crown. But hidden beneath her magic lies the truth: she is half vampire, a fact known only to her mother, the Queen. If her people discovered what she turly is, they would destroy her.
Malachi Barton has been raised in darkness, molded by a ruthless father to be the perfect weapon of the Vampire Kingdom. Cold, cunning, and mericless-at least, that's what the world sees. Behind his sharp smile lies a man who is tired of endless bloodshed and suffocating duty.
When Maggie and Malachi meet at a fragile peace summit, sparks fly-not of hatred, but of somehting far more dangerous. What begins as relucatant fascination spirals into a passion that could burn their kingdoms to ash. Their love is forbidden, their bloodlines cures, but neither can resist the pull of each other.
As war looms and secrets unravel, Maggie and Malachi must choose between their crowns and their hearts. But in a world built on fire and blood, love may cost them everything

When she meets Rowan, a loyal royal guard sworn to protect her, their connection is instant, powerful - and utterly forbidden.
