One drop of blood will awaken an ancient power—and a deadly prince.
Sera Voss thought she was just a simple apothecary’s apprentice, quietly surviving the brutal blood-tithes of her mortal border town. But when she offers her own blood to save a friend from execution, the drop rings against the bronze bowl, revealing a dangerous truth. Sera is the last Bloodheir, a mythical descendant whose veins run with a blood that is both healing wine and lethal venom.
Ripped from her home, she is taken captive in a cage wagon bound for the Citadel of Ash. Her captor is Kael Dracul, the feared Frost Prince and General of the Crimson Legions. Cold, ruthless, and deadly, Kael has spent eight hundred years burying his humanity beneath a mask of ice. But the moment he looks at Sera, an ancient Bloodsworn bond ignites, ringing like a bell in his skull and awakening a protective shadow-magic he cannot control.
The High Sovereign of the Crimson Court plans to sacrifice Sera at the new moon to break an age-old curse. Yet as Kael and Sera are forced together in the dark, their undeniable bond blazes to life. Kael vows upon his very shadow to keep her safe, even if it means betraying his own bloodline.
With assassins closing in, ancient prophecies unraveling, and a deadly silver magic burning through the court, Sera must learn to wield her devastating new powers. She will either break the vampire sovereign’s rule, or die in the Sunless Hall.
