War was cruelty, cruelty was war. Sacrifices must be made by both sides. Rydere Dardanos was king of the Dardaptos people. He’d do anything to protect his vampire race in the war between the Dardaptoans and all those named Taniss. Emily Taniss was the new CEO of Taniss Industries, the company her grandfather started sixty years ago. Now she was charged with unraveling all the evil her grandfather had been responsible for. It would take her years to find all the answers. But Emily didn’t have years, she had only moments. Rydere saw the young female’s death as a necessary sacrifice for his people. So many of his people had been lost at Taniss hands, her death was only fitting. Owed to his people. He didn’t have to like killing her, but he would do it. Rydere held her small body clutched against him as he lowered his fangs toward her neck. He would make it easy on her, he would make it quick. Until his first taste of her blood made it clear to him she wasn’t just a sacrifice. She was his destined mate...and the new queen of his people. But Emily wanted nothing to do with being queen of the vampires. Rydere had to convince her to stay with him before her grandfather's evil overtook them all. (Formerly released as The Blood King)
