BLOODLUST FOR TRUTH

THE CRIMSON ARCHIVES BOOK 2

The dagger ran warm in his hands for a reason.

He is about to find out what it is.

Luke Silvester thought the hardest part was over. The dare. The castle. The Crimson Court and everything it required of both of them. He and Rhyn have built something real on the other side of all of it - chosen, warm, theirs.

But the oldest section of the Velorian library has been holding a door that has never been opened. Behind it, a text that has been waiting three hundred years. And what it says about Luke - about his bloodline, about why the dagger ran warm the first night he touched it, about why the Bond found him and not anyone else -is going to change the shape of everything.

He is not simply the human who stumbled into a castle on a dare.

He is the one who was always coming.

And the world that has been watching them build something real is not going to receive that truth quietly. A rival House moves against the recognition. A cousin who committed to boundaries finds a new way to push against them. And Luke, who has never once been afraid of what he finds when he goes toward something -

Is about to find out what he is.

The gate was always going to be open.

Now they find out why.
