Waltzing with the devil

"They say that when you dance with the devil, the devil doesn't change-
the devil changes you."

When the kingdom of Albion is slaughtered overnight, only one survivor remains: Annabelle, a gentle court lady with fire-red hair, doe-like eyes, and a heart too soft for the world she wakes into.
What she doesn't know-what she has never known-is that she was never meant to survive by chance.

Alaric Corvus, the ancient vampire prince feared even by monsters, razes the entire capital to the ground in search of a single soul. Shadows bend to him, armies fall before him, and an entire city crumbles just to place Annabelle-broken, trembling, and unaware-into his hands.

But why her?

Why protect her from his own kind?
Why call her sunbird, as if she belongs to him?
And why does he claim she has no idea who she truly is?

As Annabelle is dragged into his world of blood, illusion, and forbidden prophecy, she begins to uncover the truth: she is far more than a court servant... and far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

Readers will follow Annabelle into a labyrinth of dark secrets, ancient magic, and a fate written long before she was born, as she discovers the real reason Alaric crossed kingdoms-and spilled oceans of blood-to find her.

Some monsters kill for hunger.
Some kill for sport.
But Alaric Corvus destroyed a kingdom for love, obsession...
or something far darker.

And when Annabelle finally learns the truth of who she is, one question remains:

Did the devil change her?
Or was she always meant to dance in the dark beside him?
