She was supposed to be a tool for diplomacy—a human pawn dropped into a den of ancient, predatory monsters. The Sovereign Vampire King didn’t want a pawn. He claimed his Fated Queen.

Fading, weary, and resigned to a slow, reclusive death, the legendary vampire king is ready to let his kingdom crumble into dust. ​Then comes Rebecca. ​A brilliant human scholar with a fierce wit and an unmatched knowledge of history, Rebecca arrives at the castle to catalog its ancient archives. Instead, she uncovers the spark that brings the dying king back to life. The catastrophic power of the mate bond snaps tight, Lucian is fully resurrected—and not a moment too soon. Rebecca thought her biggest challenge would be surviving the dark, brutal politics of King Lucian’s highland fortress. Instead, she finds a fierce, protective brotherhood and a love that defies the centuries. But peace is a luxury they cannot afford. Deep within the western woods, the arrogant Forest Elven Elders are hoarding a stolen primordial magic—and they are willing to burn the entire realm to ash to keep their secrets hidden. As Leirick mobilizes his full elven army, Lucian and Rebecca must unite vampires, wolves, and dark elves to fight a war for survival. The elders think they are marching to victory... but the Queen is setting a trap that will lead them straight to their graves.

My sister had struggled with depression since childhood. The doctor warned that she could not tolerate any kind of stimulation. As a result, my entire life fell silent. To avoid upsetting her, I never dared to laugh at home. I never dared to cry. When I got hurt, I did not even have the right to say it hurt. My parents would hug me with apologetic expressions and say, "You're the good one. Your sister's illness requires the whole family to work together. You're healthy. You're strong. Let her have more, okay?" One day, I accidentally knocked over a cup. The crash sounded enormous in the quiet room, and my sister's emotions shattered at once. My father struck me for the first time. He roared, "Can't you be careful? Do you have to push her until she dies before you're satisfied?" He shoved me to the floor. The back of my head slammed against the corner of the table, and blood poured out. But my whole family rushed to my screaming sister. No one even glanced at me. I lay on the cold floor as my vision blurred and my consciousness began to fade. To them, my sister's feelings were the only emergency. My small injury could wait. They did not know that bleeding inside the skull does not wait.

At ten years old, I watched my mom jump to her death in a rainstorm. That same night, my dad brought home a glamorous woman and her nine-year-old daughter. I had feared and hated rainy days since then. My husband once helped me face that childhood trauma, staying by my side through every storm and promising, "Don't worry, Lena, you'll never face your fears alone." But when I refused to pick up his new assistant, he abandoned me on a highway in pouring rain, saying, "Marie is your sister, and you left her out there? Walk home!" That night, the rain never stopped, and I walked thirteen hours along a dark, endless road. That was when I decided I was done with him.
