Bespelled (Standard Edition) (The Bewitched Series, 2)
Laura Thalassa
by T R Ortego
In the shadowed realm of Vlideron, witches are expected to be cold, dispassionate vessels of the Great King’s law. Ruby, however, is a failure by design. Haunted by emotions she was taught to suppress and attachments she was forbidden to form, she finds herself cast out of the rigidity of her order. Her path to self-discovery is paved with peril, pushing her toward a destiny she never dared to imagine.
Dorian has walked the dark corridors of Vlideron for centuries as a vampire, watching the rot of corruption fester beneath the city’s beauty. By night, he acts as a silent vigilante, purging the evil that the law refuses to touch. But when his secret crusade is finally exposed, his solitary existence is shattered, forcing him into a dangerous alliance that threatens to destroy the very life he has fought to preserve.
This dark romance pulls readers into a high-stakes world of intrigue and forbidden magic. As the first installment of the Nightfallen Duet, it delivers a masterful slow-burn narrative where morality is subjective and passion is a curse. For those who crave morally grey characters and atmospheric paranormal tension, this is an unmissable journey into the heart of darkness.
