A decadently dark romantasy in which a hidden witch is unmasked and forced to become a living weapon for a vampiric king and his brooding brother

Finn Erramun hides a perilous secret. One of the last witches in the kingdom, she was cast out from her village and now works as a maid in the opulent court of the vampire King Mordric, under the cover of shadows and secrets.

But when King Mordric uncovers Finn’s talents, he offers her a chance for redemption: master her magic by the summer solstice, and she may earn a coveted seat on his council. Assigned to train her is Prince Enhart, the king’s captivatingly arrogant younger brother…

As Finn is drawn into a whirlwind of courtly intrigue, power plays, and dangerous temptation, she finds herself at a crossroads. To secure her place among the king’s elite, she must navigate a labyrinth of treachery – and the vampires of Valen may not crave blood, but their thirst for power is no less consuming…
