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

The ceiling was painted white, it's familiarity creating a sense of nostalgia in Elena. The last time her pair of eyes were open, she was in a forest with Gabriel kneeling by her side. Gabriel...

Her eyes shifted to the left side to find him peacefully sleeping on a rocking chair by the side of her bed. He was so peaceful one would think he couldn't hurt a fly.

These were the moments Elena wished would last forever. She wanted to move, to touch him, kiss him maybe... 'I can see you even with my eyes closed'. This was what looking at a sleeping Gabriel felt like. Still, she wanted to give it a try.

She tried to move her muscles but it felt as if the gravity was defying her will. Moving her limbs brought a fresh wave of pain that coursed through every nerve in her body, earning a pained moan. Gabriel stirred in his sleep at the slightest of noise.
