Description

An instant USA Today bestseller! From fan-favorite Scarlett St. Clair, the bestselling author of the Hades & Persephone series, comes a new fantasy filled with danger, darkness, and insatiable romance.

Their union is his revenge.

Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war, she is to marry vampire king Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev, and kill him.

But her assassination attempt is thwarted, and Adrian threatens that if Isolde tries to kill him again, he will raise her as the undead. Faced with the possibility of becoming the thing she hates most, Isolde seeks other ways to defy him and survive the brutal vampire court.

Except it isn't the court she fears most—it's Adrian. Despite their undeniable chemistry, she wonders why the king—fierce, savage, merciless—chose her as consort.

The answer will shatter her world.

  • Um…She’s a little bit spicy

    By readergirl123🤪
    Okay. The underlying plot is really good, but OH MY GOSH why do there have to be so many spicy scenes, like too many and it’s about vampires, who apparently have very sexual creatures. The author gives such a detailed scenes, really, really, really detailed scenes. I’m okay with one or two scenes but there’s was at least ten. Not the best book I’ve read.
  • Refreshing

    Refreshing read . I think the story could dive more into more details but overall not mad . Nice balance of spice and story telling
  • Pretty good, could have been better.

    The story line, the characters, the descriptions were amazing!! I wish there was more story telling and less lust and sex. Honestly, the writing is great, I just felt like I skipped through a lot of sex. It has the potential to be as good as ACOTAR or Fourth Wing or Of Blood and Ash. I probably won’t buy the second book for now, but maybe later.
  • Amazing!!!!!!

    Good, but I wished there were other terms to describe nationality outside of “my people” 🤣
  • Missed Opportunity

    While the overall plot is great, the random hardcore erotica was unnecessary and seemed more like a placeholder for when the author lacked an original idea for that section of plot. Outside of that issue, the writing is great, as is the world building, but I also disliked some of the nicknames the author gave some of the main characters because the words seemed random and a tad corny. I think the series should have stopped with this book; the author should have cut the other books out (2nd is out, 3rd slated for 2024) and just added a final chapter to this book where she explained the rest of the loose ends because the narrative honestly doesn’t need any other additions.

    I have be devouring supernatural romance books for close to 6 months. Of the 30+ books I have read, these 2 books ranks at the top. I adore the characters and their gradual development and growth. I also am happy that there is little filler content as many authors use, like when other authors describe every room and costume ad nauseam at every opportunity. Some authors fluff for page count, not St. Clair. She is my new favorite author.
  • Fastest I have ever read a book!

    This is probably the best book I’ve ever read. Not only is it filled with passion but so many twists and turns. It truly keeps you on your toes and wondering what’s next. I am already starting the next book and I’m really hoping for a third! The author is incredible, I’ve never found someone who has the ability to keep me wanting more to the point I just can’t put the book down. Highly recommend!
