A sensual, atmospheric fantasy of fated love, ancient magic, and dangerous desire. When my best friend was taken on her 25th moonday—chosen by fate to become a Nature Halfling—I swore I wouldn’t shed tears for what destiny chose. Instead, I embraced my Fire gift and vowed to one day find the mysterious man who’s haunted my dreams for moons. Now, on the eve of my own 25th moonday—and under Sangre’s rare, once-in-a-century blood moon—everything changes. Whispers of rebellion stir. The crown is in question. And Prince Beauregard Graysen, the devastatingly beautiful Ice Halfling, stands at the center of it all. His eyes are like frozen oceans, his kiss like winter swallowing flame—and yet, when he touches me, my fire only burns hotter. He wants me to be his queen. His match. His equal in heat and power. But danger looms, prophecy awakens, and fate never plays fair. As enemies close in and forgotten magic rises, I must surrender to a love that could change everything—or risk losing it all. Step into the world of Sangre, where vampires rule the shadows, elemental power shapes destiny, and love can either burn it all to ashes... or freeze it all asunder.
