No one will ever make me bow to him again. For years, a small kernel of hope for my freedom was all that kept me alive while imprisoned by the brutal Thaician Emperor, Malakai. Now, those wishing to return me to him threaten everything I’ve fought so desperately for. This time is different, though, because they’ve underestimated me. I have far more than hope in my arsenal now, and I’m not the same woman I was under his rule. But will it be enough to make it back to the three vampyre lords who set my heart on fire? Before, I simply hoped for freedom. Now, I know there is so much more waiting for me beyond these shackles: my new home, friendships, love, and most importantly, a chance to change the world for the better. And I am willing to fight for it all—ruthlessly. *** From the authors that brought you Monarchs of Hell and Dark Imaginarium Academy… Ruthless Blood is book one in the Vampyres’ Source trilogy that features a strong-willed but wounded FMC and her possessive Vampyre Lords that will topple empires for her freedom.
