Vampires are parasites. Monsters. Killers. And now they’ve taken my grandmother. I’m going to find her, even if it’s the last thing I do. But the trail of dark magic I’m tracking leads straight to Lucien Marlowe, a power-hungry vampire who’d burn the world to ash just to rule the ruins. I might be in over my head. Now, finding Gran means working with the bloodsuckers I’ve despised all my life. And I’m stuck with the worst of them. Marcus Nightshade is an insufferable vampire soldier who’s as deadly as he is gorgeous. And damn him, he knows it. I don’t need his help. I don’t need his protection. And I definitely don’t need these electric shivers every time he looks at me. But Lucien’s world is darker than anything my magic can touch, and a deadly secret lies at the heart of the Bloodbane curse that plagues their kind. In fact, everything seems to be shrouded in secrecy. Even my sister’s irritating squirrel familiar seems to know more than she’s telling. With a coup threatening both our worlds and Gran’s life hanging in the balance, I’m running out of options. As much as I hate it, it looks like I’ll have to trust the enemy…and pray I don’t lose my soul in the process. Because the real question isn’t how far I’ll go to save the ones I love—it’s whether I’ll survive what’s waiting in the dark. “Blood Prophecy” is the fifth book in Vampire-Cursed, a series of interlinked paranormal romance stories. If you like vampires, witches, and just a touch of psychic power, you’re going to love “Blood Prophecy.” HEAs are guaranteed (even if they have to work hard to get there). Note that this story is written for mature audiences only.
