Blood Trials
(2027)(The first book in the Bloodbound Saga series)
A novel by Elise Saint-Severin and Zara Storm
Blood Trials is a vampire romantasy for fans of Carissa Broadbent and Sarah J. Maas—featuring a savage vampire hero, a fire-forged heroine, and a bond written in blood.
I only want one thing. Lifeblood to save my dying brother.
To steal it, I attempt the unthinkable—break into Melee-Mortis, the infamous war college where the vampire elite are forged into monsters.
But nothing goes according to plan.
Suddenly, I’m trapped behind the academy’s blood-drenched walls, forced into a brutal entry trial no human is meant to survive.
My opponent? Asper Ashborne. A centuries-old vampire warrior. The butcher of the human rebellions.
He’s supposed to kill me. Instead, I draw first blood.
One drop. That’s all it takes to curse us both—binding Asper to me in an unbreakable blood bond that ties our fates together forever.
I’m cursed to die if I fall in love with him.
He’s cursed to fall in love with whoever draws his blood.
Now I must survive as a student, enduring a gauntlet of brutal trials against vicious half-vampire nobles who relish tearing me apart—while plotting my escape with the lifeblood I came for.
And the deadliest threat of all?
Asper—now my combat instructor.
But beneath the hostility, something dark and magnetic coils between us. The more I resist him, the more I crave the monster bound to my soul.
And as the trials grow deadlier, I’m forced to face the truth: surrendering to Asper may be the only way to survive. Or it could be my undoing…
