To survive, Isolde has only one option is deceive the monster. But when lies turn into attachment, and the disguise becomes dependence, she must choose to be the next victim, or become the queen of Severin’s hell.

But Lucas Nightveil was different. A war mongrel with a thirst for carnage, Lucas thrived in blood and madness. While others struggled to build wooden huts and gather firewood, Lucas awakened the [Dark Crypt]—and with it, her. Selena Draculea, the Vampire Queen. Elegant. Overpowering. Sadistic.

He only wanted war. “In the night, there is no mercy—only my will.” — Lucas Nightveil As his Night Empire rises, the world learns one eternal command: "Bow to the Vampire Queen. Or be devoured by her King." cover made by: Shyrlo

"Careful, Adam," she murmured, her voice playful, but carrying the unmistakable edge of a challenge. "Keep pushing, and I just might call your bluff."

And part of me so, so foolishly didn’t want him to.
