She was never meant to rule. She was never even meant to matter... As the last princess of the great Vampire Empire, Natalia Victoria Romanov was nothing more than a forgotten daughter—born without vampire abilities, cast aside by her own kind. But when the Lycans launch a brutal attack on her kingdom, Natalia is taken hostage and forced into a fate she never chose. To break King Marshall’s curse was to seal her own—for in doing so, she became his mate, his queen, his possession. Now, trapped in a kingdom of beasts, she is torn between two identities: A Vampire Princess, unworthy in the eyes of her own kind. A Lycan Queen, bound to a ruthless king who sees her as nothing more than a pawn. Marshall’s brutality and coldness slowly crush her spirit, but his brother? He is the only light in her world of darkness. And when blood spills, alliances shatter, and war erupts between Vampires, Lycans, and Werewolves, Natalia is forced to make the ultimate choice: Stand with the vampires who never wanted her? Or claim her place beside the beasts who stole her? One choice will crown her. The other will doom them all. ---
