Blood and Star Dust

Book Two of the Cosmic Veins Saga

Five years ago, they built a kingdom from blood and unity.

Now they must defend it.

Crimson Aurelion stands stronger than ever - a united empire of vampires and aliens forged through war, sacrifice, and ruthless leadership. At its center rule King Victor and Queen Zena, powerful, feared, and unshaken.

But power shifts when legacy begins to grow.

Zena carries the future of two species within her - a child already stirring with unnatural strength. As her pregnancy amplifies her abilities, surges of unstable energy ripple through the palace, and whispers echo from the womb itself. The unborn prince is aware. Watching. Learning.

And enemies are watching too.

Beyond the forest borders, the wolves gather - convinced that hybrids are an abomination and that Crimson Aurelion must fall. When invasion becomes inevitable, Victor is forced into an alliance he despises: seeking aid from the human kingdom to prevent annihilation.

As war brews at the gates and political tension fractures pride, love is tested. Loyalty is proven. And sacrifice becomes unavoidable.

When battle collides with labor and blood soaks the snow outside palace walls, a new prince is born in the middle of war - red-haired, glowing-eyed, and already moving the world with his mind.

But victory comes at a cost.

In a kingdom forged by fang and stardust, peace is never gentle.

It is earned.

Through blood.

Through loss.

Through legacy.
