BLOODBOUND HEARTS

Nessa veine Fantasy

“"It burns." Lucian caught her hand. The moment his fingers closed around her wrist, the lights flickered. "Alara." "I can't stop it." "Don't fight it." "Then what am I supposed to do?" He pulled her closer, placing himself between her and the woman watching them. "The Moonstone is waking," the woman whispered. Lucian's expression darkened. "You said it was hidden." "It was." "Then why is it reacting now?" Her gaze settled on Alara. "Because she is here." The courtyard split beneath Alara's feet. And something beneath the palace began to wake. Alara never imagined that the blood running through her veins could awaken an ancient power, much less draw the attention of the most feared vampire king in existence. Lucian has spent centuries ruling through fear, trusting no one and allowing nothing to threaten his throne. But Alara is different. Her blood can heal his wounds and strengthen his power, yet every drop comes with a danger neither of them fully understands. Now, strange markings, forgotten secrets, and a mysterious ancient force are drawing Alara into a world where her existence could change the fate of an entire kingdom. Lucian should keep his distance. Instead, he finds himself caught between the need to protect her and an inexplicable desire to keep her close. But the vampire king isn't the only one interested in Alara's blood. Some want to control her. Others want to use her. And there are those who would rather see her dead than allow the truth about her bloodline to emerge. As the darkness beneath the palace stirs, Alara must discover what she truly is before the power awakening inside her destroys everything around her. Because the greatest threat to Lucian's kingdom may not be his enemies. It may be the woman standing beside him. And the bond growing between them may be the most dangerous secret of all.”
