Description
For the first printing only! This hardcover features gorgeous sprayed stenciled edges while the special edition supply lasts.
Samara gets everything she ever wanted at the cost of becoming what she despises most in this gripping second book in the slow-burn vampire romantasy Kingdom of Dark Magic series with a unique magic system that’s perfect for readers of Carissa Broadbent, Penn Cole, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.
Samara wakes in a prison cell as her worst nightmare: she’s a vampire, cursed with bloodlust that horrifies her. And though Samara now has the magic she’s always desperately craved, it’s a secret she must guard with her undead life. Because this same magic marks her as an enemy of all vampires—especially Raphael, their king.
Samara should flee before Raphael can discover she’s the very witch he’s been hunting for centuries, but the mystical sire bond between them prevents Samara from leaving his side. Instead, she must journey with him to the Southern Vampire Kingdom—sharing both his carriage…and his bed. On edge from her forced proximity to Raphael, Samara is also tormented by her inescapable vampire thirst. Every night, she claws at her throat trying to ease the pain. And when she’s around Raphael, her fangs ache without her knowing why.
Once in the Southern Vampire Kingdom, Raphael offers Samara another bargain: Yield to her vampire nature and master her abilities, and he will help her break their bond. The temptation is too powerful to resist, but if Samara’s control over the powers she barely understands slips for even a moment and Raphael learns she’s the necromancer…the sire who made her will have no choice but to destroy her.

Person
Vasilisa Drake adores dragons, magic, and men who like to bite. She writes fantasy romance books with heroines that find their own strength and capture the hearts of morally gray men—just be warned, those cliffs are steep…but there’s always a happy ending on the other side. She is based in New England and is constantly bouncing from city to city while she tries to find her home amidst overpriced rental apartments. She can be found staying up way too late reading, organizing her bookshelf over and over, and winning the imaginary arguments in her head at least thirty percent of the time.
