I killed their queen and soon I’ll claim her throne… As a half-vampire born of scandal, I fled the coven before I could be executed for the crime of existing. I built a peaceful human life, found love, and thought I was finally safe. I was wrong. When the vampire queen captured my betrothed and turned him in the most brutal way possible, she sealed her fate. Driving a stake through her black heart was only the beginning. Now the court’s bloodthirsty nobles are vying for her throne. Perfect. I’ll slip into their bloody competition wearing a disguise and let them crown me their new sovereign. Enemies lurk in every shadow. But little do many of the monsters around me realize—it’s their bones that will pave my ascent. To conquer the coming trials, I have to do more than pretend to be one of them. I must claim mates to empower me. Zane, my betrothed, chips away at my defenses. His fangs only sharpen his devotion to me. Finn, my childhood friend, aches for the chaos I plan to unleash. Mathias, the stern overseer ruling in the queen's absence, should be my enemy. Instead, I'm drawn to him with a pull that could cost me everything. Noir, the rival coven’s notorious assassin, helps me out of sheer ennui. I shouldn't trust him. I definitely shouldn't want him. Each fanged kiss and sip of depravity is more addictive than the last. Yet nothing tastes sweeter than my enemies’ blood. Thirst is the first book of a dark vampire romantasy trilogy featuring a strong main character who has more than one love interest and doesn’t choose between them. This book has a cliffhanger ending and is intended for audiences 18+.
