Royal Awakening (Hemora & Nightfall Series)

Princess Seraphina is the kingdom's perfect puppet. Until she starts pulling the strings.

To her parents, she is a silent heir. To the court, she is a symbol of order. But behind closed doors, Seraphina is a rebel in silk, fighting against the barbaric laws that treat vampires like livestock. Her defiance was supposed to be her shield, but it's become her cage.

As punishment for her "mercy," her parents gift her the one thing she never wanted: a personal shadow.

He is a vampire. He is supposed to be property. He is supposed to be submissive.

He is none of those things.

From the moment he enters her chambers, Seraphina realizes she hasn't been given a guard-she's been locked in with a predator who sees right through her crown. He doesn't just challenge her kingdom's laws; he challenges her soul.

As the line between owner and owned begins to blur, Seraphina must decide what's more dangerous: the secrets her parents have buried beneath the throne, or the monster who is slowly becoming the only person she can trust.
