After accepting Nathan’s blood and his bite, it’s hard for Julia not to be swept up in his almost immediate adoration and her equally intense attraction to him. But now, dressed like a bloody bride and armed with ambivalence, Julia must meet and be judged by the other eccentric Dominion elite at the Bleeder’s Ball—where leather and chains are de rigueur and ending in a bloodbath is the inevitable, but welcome conclusion. *** Reader This book contains scenes of mature content and should not be read by anyone under the age of eighteen. Warnings for vampire-related horror, twisted religious ceremony, MM Master/servant dynamic and sex, portrayal of BDSM relationships, bloodplay, brief FF kissing, touching, and vampiric biting. Part of a five-book series, so it ends on a cliffhanger.
