Description

Seraphina Duvall is a half-blood outcast—too human for vampires, too monstrous for mortals. Raised as her tyrant father's pawn, she knows two truths: blood is power, and hers is cursed.

When Viktor Rasvost, the vampire warlord who slit her mother's throat, gifts her to the ruthless Malachai Soren, survival means submission. But Seraphina would rather burn the Obsidian Citadel to the ground than kneel.

Malachai isn't what she expected. Neither are his bonded warriors—Lucian, the silver-tongued poet with a taste for vengeance, and Dmitri, the silent hunter who sees her as something divine. Together, they awaken a power in her veins even Viktor fears.

The Blood Moon approaches. Viktor plans to crown her or sacrifice her. Lilith, his venomous spymaster, spreads whispers of treason. And the European Coven watches from the shadows, hungry for the ancient force sleeping in Seraphina's blood.

When Viktor's betrayal leaves Lucian dying, Seraphina faces an impossible choice: let him perish or damn him to vampirism. The ritual works—but it ties her fate to a throne drenched in her father's sins.

The citadel collapses. The old gods stir. And as Seraphina plunges a dagger into Viktor's heart, she realizes the Crown's true price: to rule, she must become the monster they all believe her to be.

The Blood Moon rises. The Coven knocks at her gates. And the only thing more dangerous than Seraphina's enemies? What she'll become to destroy them.
