Description
"Some princes are born to rule. Others are born to kneel."
Crown Prince Caelum Salutregui was raised to be humanity's perfect weapon—diplomatic, deadly, and utterly devoted to destroying the vampire empire. What he wasn't raised to know? He's vampire royalty himself.
When the Ashan Federation offers him as a "peace tribute" to the very monsters he's sworn to hate, Caelum expects torture, death, maybe both. He doesn't expect General Velis Drayke—a sadist in uniform who sees right through his royal mask to the defiant soul beneath.
But in the Crimson Dominion, submission is statecraft and pleasure is politics.
…
Some choices reshape empires. Others destroy them.
Delivered as
blood tribute
to the immortal vampire court,
Caelum
expects to serve and die quietly. He doesn't expect to catch the eye of
Commander Velis
—the empire's most ruthless enforcer—or to become the spark that ignites a
vampire civil war
.
Prince Caelum
carries secrets in his blood that could topple dynasties. When
Queen Ysoria
senses the power thrumming beneath his skin, she knows he's either salvation or destruction.
Commander Velis
sees something else a beautiful, defiant boy who challenges everything he believes about strength, loyalty, and the cold necessity of ruling through fear.
Velis
has spent centuries crushing rebellions and maintaining order between the vampire houses through calculated brutality. But this half-blood tribute makes him feel human—weak, protective, desperate. In their world, such feelings are a death sentence.
As
rival vampire houses
circle like vultures and
human spies
infiltrate the court, Caelum and Velis navigate treacherous
political intrigue
while fighting an attraction that could damn them both. Neither expected to find an equal in their enemy. Neither planned to fall.
Their
forbidden romance
unfolds
✦
Gothic vampire courts
where ancient bloodlines clash for power
✦
Political conspiracies
spanning centuries of carefully buried grudges
✦
Dark fantasy
courts where magic and murder walk hand in hand
✦ A
vampire empire
transforming from absolute monarchy to something unprecedented
✦ An
epic scope
that will span the rise and fall of civilizations
If you
Anne Rice's political vampire intrigue, Sarah J. Maas's court drama, or
enemies-to-lovers romance
with real stakes—this
gothic fantasy
