Vex: Blood Ties, Broken Promises, Eternal Consequences [Book 5]

Sequel to the fourth Book Vex: Web of Blood and Shadow

Chicago survived the impossible.

The Witch Queen has fallen.

The storm has passed.

And the world believes the nightmare is over.

It couldn't be more wrong.

Vex has finally reclaimed the identity she buried centuries ago-Mistgloom. But the truth has shattered more than secrets. Her reunion with Domino has reopened old wounds that time never healed, and the fragile peace between the two ancient friends threatens to collapse into a rivalry powerful enough to shake both Avalon and the mortal world.

Meanwhile, Selene Windwalker has problems of her own.

Tasked with caring for her gifted young niece, Lyriel Nightshade, while Lyriel's parents confront a crisis in the magical world, Selene discovers that raising a brilliant, stubborn teenage witch may be even more dangerous than hunting monsters. And with a mysterious Dark Fae continuing to haunt her every step, revenge remains an obsession she refuses to abandon.

But all of their struggles pale before the awakening of something far older.

Deep within a forgotten castle, the King of Vampires has risen from centuries of slumber.

Dracula is coming to Chicago.

His arrival will force ancient allies to choose sides, expose secrets buried since the birth of vampirism, and plunge the city into a conflict where witches, faeries, vampires, demons, and shadows collide.

Some rivalries end in friendship.

Some become legends.

And some...

Become wars that reshape the world forever.
