Shadow Unit Series — Book Six
Forty-three days without blood.
Adam Blackthorne has been Royal Vampiri of House Vayne for three centuries—hunter, liaison, weapon. None of it matters now. Now he's a number on a harvest schedule. A body in a collar that fires fire into his skull every time the thing inside him claws for freedom. The world learned what hides in the dark after Alexandria, and the humans decided the answer was a leash, a lab, and a long table with restraints.
They starve him. They study him. And when he's weak enough, they send someone to take him apart.
Eveyan Frost came to evaluate the asset. File the report. Walk away clean. She didn't plan on the starving thing behind the glass smelling like home. She didn't plan on the dreams—pale-eyed, ravenous, waiting—following her into the daylight. And she has no idea that the power the Agency has hunted her whole life has been sleeping in her own blood, waiting for him to wake it.
One stolen feeding. One bond neither of them chose. And the secret the Agency built an entire black division to find snaps into place: Eve is Nephilim and Vampiri both. The Guardian. The only key that fits the locks holding the worlds apart.
So they don't free her. They collar her too.
Dragged across the world to claim relics guarded by flame and worse, Adam and Eve become the instruments of a war Faith has been screaming about in her sleep since she was old enough to speak. Shadow Unit comes for their own—Jesminda, Draven, Royce, all of them willing to burn the Agency to ash to bring Adam home. But some doors, once opened, don't close. Some debts get paid in blood. And the thing waiting on the other side of those broken barriers is older than gods, and it has been patient a very long time.
Adam swore he'd never be owned again.
Eve swore she'd never break.
Their family swore they'd lose no one else.
They were all wrong about something.
Some bonds are forged in love. This one was forged in blood, in a cage, in the dark—and it will cost them more than any of them are ready to pay.
Content note: Blood Kissed is a dark paranormal romance featuring captivity, torture, supernatural experimentation, on-page violence, and grief. Intended for readers 18+.
Genre: Paranormal Romance
