When Vengeance Bleeds Royal - Hardcover

She swore vengeance for her sister's murder.

The gods demand a bloodier price.

Dark, addictive, and laced with forbidden desire, When Vengeance Bleeds Royal is the first book in the Blood Descent series-a brutal fantasy romance perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent and Sarah J. Maas.

"You shattered him," he says, steady and sure. "And gods help me, you remain the most beautiful sight I've ever seen." He leans in. "I should fear you, but all I want is to kneel."

In the fractured land of Cyrathea, every territory hides a cursed artifact, relics forged by gods who were betrayed and imprisoned. The Brotherhood of Eternal Shadow hunts them all, weaving lies through court politics and blood-soaked bargains.

Lumira Kyrvayne has only one goal: kill the man who murdered her sister. But her vow of vengeance drags her into a deeper game-one where secrets rot beneath every oath, magic bleeds from forbidden relics, and a hooded Shadowspire guard keeps crossing her path with eyes she cannot forget.

Enemies close in. Allies shift like smoke. And the man who should be her enemy might also be the one person who can unravel her resolve.

When Vengeance Bleeds Royal is a dark fantasy romance brimming with:

• A morally gray heroine who refuses to be tamed
• An enigmatic, hooded antihero with secrets of his own
• Forbidden attraction, brutal magic, and deadly politics
• Cursed artifacts and imprisoned gods
• A slow-burn obsession that cuts as deep as any blade
