Why Read This?

Intricate vampire world-building with genuinely surprising twists. Emelia is a compelling protagonist caught between two worlds, and the love triangle has real stakes. The court politics are addictive.

Synopsis

In a world ruled by vampires where humans are farmed for food, Emelia Raven stands on the brink of becoming the next sovereign of the House of Raven. Half-human, half-vampire, Emelia walks between two worlds. However, treachery simmers beneath gilded courtrooms and velvet gowns, and whispers of an ancient Challenge threaten to spill royal blood on the steps of power. To claim her crown, Emelia must navigate betrayal, love, and the terrifying burden of change in a world that fears it.
