He wanted to be accepted for who he was; a bastard. But the world was a cruel place for bastards, especially in the vampire realm of Eldoria. 

A vampire prince, born a bastard, was a disgrace not only to the royal family but the realm at large. And for that, Gabriel Sinclair grew up in harsh environs within the very castle his brother considered heaven. 

And as if being bastard was not enough wound to scar him and put him miles away from the throne, they made marry a human to seal the treaty between the two warring species. 

*****
Elena Thornhart always dreamt of venturing beyond the walls of Mysthaven. Since childhood, she had been confined in the castle of Mysthaven, safe from the vampire's reach. 

But not everything goes as planned. In an effort to save the nearly extinct human population, Andrian Thornhart, the human king and Elena's brother, offers her as the sacrificial lamb. 

Now Elena must navigate the treacherous Vampire court and royal family and protect her husband from his own kind. 

Little does she know her presence is set to unleash a side of Gabriel Sinclair that he never knew existed, a secret that might set the realm apart or unite it!

A Bastard's Allure

Jophiel could not remember the last time she had stuck her hands in mud. The soil felt greasy on her palms reeling every waking second she spent in the royal garden. With Gabriel and Elena gone, she was now transferred to the gardens to water and weed the flowers.

Many were the times she wished her Lady was still here. But again, that would be putting her life at risk. Rumor had it that the king was poisoned. Were it not for her close relationship with the king, she would be dead too.

Wiping the sweat off her face with the back of her hand, she picked the watering can when she spotted a familiar figure walking through the hallway. She narrowed her eyes trying to place him in her mind, and when she did, her heart raced.

"Ser Darion?" She called out loud, but the man didn't stop, or simply ignored her. He took a corner disappearing out of her sight.
