Queen of the Blood Throne

Liars, Murderers, and Thieves: The Prince of Darkness is looking to hire. For years Melchior, the youngest son of the Fate Atropos, has thought of nothing but vengeance against his mother - Death. A prisoner in his own castle, the Prince of Darkness is trapped in her wicked web, despite the fact that the Gods are on his side. He's been learning dark magic as a way to protect himself and his people from the cruelty of their Queen... with limited success, and the only way he's managed to leave the castle is by promising his mother that he'll find a bride and give her a grandchild. All hope seems lost, until a simple thief crosses his path, arousing his interest. Melchior invites her to come with him, back to his cursed castle in Kinver'i, and conduct a daring heist that just might save their kingdom -- steal the Eternal Slumber, the mask of Death. She's a courageous pawn, willing to risk her life for coin. He's cunning and will do whatever it takes. Will they betray each other? Or will they save their kingdom from Death and a bloody legacy? Welcome to the world of Moirai, where greek mythology, folklore, and Fae collide in a gothic fantasy romance between a female villain and a dark prince who steals her heart. *Please note: This series is set in the same world as the Queens of Moirai series, but can be read independently, and readers are encouraged to read the list of triggers inside the book.* This prequel novella is a compliment to the DESCENDANTS OF ATROPOS series, and can be read in any order.
