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!

"We need to get out of here," Gabriel said as he led Elena towards the stables. Knights were everywhere searching for them but thanks to their guises, they blended in.

"My brother... He's our only chance," Elena said as they took a corner around the hallway.

"Trust me, talking with a vampire is the last thing on your brother's wishlist," Gabriel said. "Shit!" He cursed when he saw a ton of knights guarding the horses. Andrian had instructed them to keep everyone inside until Gabriel and Vathin were found.

"He'll listen if you speak to him," she implored.

Gabriel scoffed, now leading her to another hallway in the palace. "He was willing to marry you against your will and you think he'll listen to me? What makes you think he can give me his human army?"

"Because you're both fighting a common enemy. He wants the vampires dead as much as you want the throne to yourself."
