About this book
Isolde de Lara has always been taught that vampires are monsters, and she is prepared to sacrifice her own life to prove it. As a princess forced into a political marriage to end a bloody war, she enters the vampire court with a single mission: assassinate King Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev. But when her attempt is thwarted, she finds herself bound to the very creature she was raised to despise. Adrian is a savage, merciless ruler who offers her a dark ultimatum: submit to his rule or be turned into the undead she loathes.
This addictive dark romance masterfully blends high-stakes political tension with an intense enemies-to-lovers dynamic. As Isolde navigates the treacherous vampire court, she discovers that the king’s motives are far more complex than a simple grasp for power. The palpable, electric chemistry between the two keeps the tension simmering on every page, making it impossible to look away from their volatile dance of blades and desire.
Perfect for fans of paranormal romance who crave a brooding, dangerous hero and a resilient heroine, this story is a seductive descent into shadows. Prepare to be consumed by a world where every touch could be a death sentence and every secret threatens to shatter the throne.

Did I just buy and read a book that was released 10 days ago, and won’t have a sexual until next year? Yes I did. Did I regret my decision? No! Maybe… Reason? Because I need the second book like YESTERDAY! I honestly blame TikTok, because if not for them, I would have found out about the book a bit later, and I would have made a rational decision to wait to read it closer to the release of the second book, so I wouldn’t have to wait for a year to read the second book. At least it’s not a...

I am absolutely in love, enthralled and anxious for this story to go on. As I am writing my review, I do not know if or when there will be a book two but I surely hope so. This vampire story is completely unique from other vampire stories I’ve read. Many other mystical beings besides the undead with tons of magic and sorcery. The romance is a huge part of the story line and the characters are vivid, sexy, full of personality and easy to connect with. I fell in love with them! The nature of...
