Dragos Nicolae Vlad III has chosen solitude over his destined role as the leader of vampires. But when Dawn Carter, a young woman with financial struggles, lands a job at the Vlad mansion, her immunity to Dragos' compulsion stirs something long dead within him. Worry. He needs to find out why.
Dawn has no idea vampires exist, let alone that she's living among them or that the dangerously gorgeous Dragos is their chosen one.
As feelings start to grow between them, old wounds and new desires surface, but their love isn't meant to be.
She is something else. Something pure. And he? A being forged from dark magic, forever damned.
A vampire, and not just any kind.
Will Dragos give up the first woman to touch his heart in over four hundred years? Or can their forbidden love create a path to peace for both the human and vampire species?

Phew, here it comes. My very first author's review. The Divine and the Damned is a vampire fantasy romance following Dragos Nicolae Vlad III, a special vampire—the chosen one, and Dawn Carter, his love interest, a woman whose destiny stands against what he is. As a result of their forbidden love, rival vampire clans come for them. But despite the danger Dawn represents, Dragos finds himself unable to turn away from her. Their love challenges ancient traditions and stirs up conflict within the vampire community, but still, they stick together, fighting their way through, breaking the ancient curse afflicting Dragos' bloodline, and striving to create a future where vampires and humans can coexist peacefully. But this story isn’t just about Dragos and Dawn. It explores the history, conflicts, and hierarchies of the vampire world, tracing back to Dragavei, the first of Dragos’ bloodline, and his tragic past with his wife. It delves into the struggles of Azrael, Dragos' ruthless older brother, whose backstory is as heartbreaking as it is intense. It follows Rafael, Dragos' loyal sireling, exposing his own challenges. Every character has a part to play, each with their own scars, goals, and choices that affect the world around them. This book is filled with relatable and emotional themes of grief, destiny, romance, betrayal, revenge, redemption, and so much more. It's not just about the supernatural battles, but the emotional battles the characters face. I spent two years writing this story, facing challenges like writer's block and tackling plot holes along the way. It’s a book I poured my heart into, bonding with the characters, especially Azrael, and now that I've decided to share it with the world, I truly hope you give it a chance. So, if you love supernatural romance and a forbidden love that defies fate, then The Divine and the Damned is for you. Dragos, Dawn, and many others would love for you to read their story.
Was expecting to see more comments, votes and collections. This book is severely underrated.
