The Crimson Throne: A Queen's Awakening

In a kingdom ruled by shadows and blood, eighteen-year-old Annora has spent her life in servitude, oblivious to the deadly secrets lurking within the palace walls. Stolen from her mother as a child, she has known only obedience—until the night of the royal ball, when she catches the gaze of King Alaric Castile. Dark, brooding, and dangerously alluring, the vampire King is drawn to her in a way he cannot explain. Her scent is intoxicating, her presence a temptation he cannot resist.
But Annora’s discovery of the palace’s forbidden corridors leads her to a chilling truth—the monarchy is ruled by vampires, bound by an ancient law that no mortal may live after uncovering their existence. When Alaric’s hunger finally breaks his restraint and he bites her, the consequences are immediate. The royal council demands that he correct his mistake: kill Annora or turn her into one of them.
Torn between duty and desire, Alaric defies the very laws that have governed his kind for centuries. He tries to hide Annora, but the attempt is futile. He has no choice but to turn her. He refuses to loose her. But Annora’s transformation is unlike anything seen before—she awakens with powers even the eldest vampires cannot comprehend. With the kingdom on the brink of war and an ancient prophecy stirring, she and Alaric must fight not only for their love but for survival.
As enemies close in and betrayal lurks within their own ranks, Annora must decide—will she embrace the darkness of her new existence, or will she burn the vampire monarchy to the ground?
