A dark time when the creatures of shadow descended unto the tranquil human lands, making their existence known. A time followed when empires were led by humanity's conspiracy and betrayal, a time filled with hatred, but unbeknownst to the humans, they were only mere puppets, pawns of greater beings of darkness, entities with the power to crush anything and everything in their way.
What happens when a small human girl catches the eye of one of these so-called greater beings, a pureblooded Lord? Can an ant such as her survive the political strifes and fearsome feuds between the lands and the monsters that control them.
For those who fear vampires, ghosts and the unknown, I offer two words of advice…
Tread lightly.

"Why should I avoid him? He was a perfect gentleman, a good man," Katherine Welcher argued in his defense.
"Good or not, neither matter," Alexander Delcrov warned her, "As long as you're under my wing, you shall behave and listen to my words. Do not let any man kiss you, Katherine. I don’t want others to call you improper."
"There was nothing improper about it! And I'm not yours to obey," she blurted out in annoyance, feeling her face flush with embarrassment for the second time this evening, "I mean, you can't order me aro—-"
"So disobedient," he stated with nonchalance before moving his hand from her waist to her back, pulling her closer to him as they danced.
His breath tickled her nape.
"So you’ll only listen if you are mine?"
Is there 10 stars per category here? 🤪 To be honest, I have seen the book while it still had the old cover on and been ignoring it for I thought it was a boring piece of war novel... Let me tell you RIGHT NOW, it was the WORST DECISION EVER! It turned out I had been ignoring ONE OF THE BEST HIDDEN GEM IN THE FICTION WORLD! How silly and stupid of me? From the scenery, setting, storyline, characters, how each line was intriguing, no unnecessary and overly done cliffhangers but still more than enough to thirst for more chaps? Like I have read hundreds of books both thriller, romance, comedy, zombies and this book certainly stands above all else! The author did a great job at writing it! I just finished it and can't wait to read the following series! 💯💯💯💯💯 👏👏👏👏👏 by the way, I've never been so inlove witha side character like how I fell inlove with Malphus! Hands down! Kudos author Ash!
The author has written this beautiful story so well! The characters are so captivating and wonderfully developed. The story truly pulled me into the realm and was written with enough descriptive qualities I could see the story play out in my head. I began reading the story with Hope's of a good plot at the very least but the author has exceeded my expectations. I will continue on to read the author's other works and hope for the story to go beyond this platform to become a published novel or movie as it is definitely qualified.
absolutely worth the coins& time. The story that Ash has created it breath taking and an emotional rollercoaster. there are a few minor errors here and there but over all a must read for any fantasy lover. the world that has been created is amazing and vivid to the point its like watching a movie. this is the first and ive already read 4 of the books. Alex is one of my favorites ❤
This book is amazing and whole series of Dukes are worth reading. This is an author worth following everywhere. Believe me, you will fall in love with all characters even the "bad ones".
A beautiful story, and remains one of my favourite books. I am absolutely in love with the way the author uses the words with such grace. And as a lover of the vampire, magic, fantasy, historical fiction and romance genre, I found all of it in a single book, intricated in a very beautiful way. And as for the characters, Lord Alexander, Katherine, Malphus are love.♡
I sooo love this story.. It's one of the best stories I've read here in Webnovel.. It has it's own uniqueness but it's fascinating charm doesn't pale in comparison to other stories here.. The world this story created is so vivid in my imagination I started believing it exists.. It pulls you right in the story you feel like you're really there.. I often imagine myself as Katherine, wishing I have Alexander for my own.. sigh..
It's a novel i can never get tired of reading over and over again (I don't repeat a novel but this series is an exception 😉). Loads of love for the author, you are an amazing writer.
This author was in Wattpad and although I already read Valerian empire, I wanted to read it again.. she moved to webnovel and that is the only reason I downloaded the app... I have to pay to read it again and I am doing so with a smile as I love her writing 🥰... keep up the good work and you need a publisher... your novels should be published for paperback sales .... 😍😍🥰🥰💗
Ahh! I've read this on another app and I keep on rereading! Alex is so swoon swoon swoon worthy, must read. I also finished a lot of her books and so far, I like them all.
Oh my god!! Such an interesting story. I love reading fantasy novel so much such as vampire. And now it exists in WebNovel!!!! 😍😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Oh my God! Is this what I think it is? I think I have read this in wattpad? OOOHHHHHHH, together with Nicholas and Heidi's story mehehehehehhehwwhw if it is, omg <3. This is such a good book. One of the treasures of wattpad :>
I stumbled on this story when browsing, and I'm glad I found it. A wonderful story. The characters are well developed and the pacing is just right. There are some areas where the author needs a bit of proofreading "murder of a council murder" as an example, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the scene. If you like paranormal romance, like Twilight, this is a book for you.
Just giving 5 stars to Alex, alright? You already know and I won't say it. This is the first book everyone should read before reading the other series. You never know the Lords and Masters will call the readers 'coconuts.'
Soooo amazing😍😍😍 never been so hooked in an e-novel liked Valerian did to me. I thought this is just another money dragging e-novel but i was wrong. Worth the coins and time😍😍😍
Just completed this book. I like the writing style and story. Pace is good and love the characters. The grammatical errors and ambiguity of sentences did make reading a little frustrating at times but it is still tolerable.
