She was to marry the man who led the attack on her people.

After her father is murdered, Circe is forced to leave her home and become a prisoner of the enemy. When she is taken to the enemy territory, she expects to be tortured physically in every way imaginable. But what she hadn't expected was for the vampire king to offer her up as a bride to his illegitimate son, the very same man that had her people slaughtered.

It was a fate worse than torture.

With her little brother's life on the line and with nowhere to run, Circe is forced to succumb to her fate. Right then she vowed in the name of her dead father to bring her husband to his knees. She would have her revenge, even if it meant destroying herself in the process.

From the first time Prince Ragnar laid eyes on Circe, he knew she was going to be trouble. But trouble had never looked so intriguing. She was a puzzle he couldn't solve and that fact only drew him closer. Like a moth to a flame, she threatened to consume him. She would be his very own demise.

Circe's presence in Lamora awoke something sinister, a malicious entity roaming the lands.

From dusk till dawn, the streets of Lamora becomes engulfed in a strange fog and from within the voice of a woman can be heard. Anyone who wanders out at night when the fog comes, vanishes seemingly without a trace. Never to be found again.

what happens when Circe's brother becomes a victim of this evil presence? What happens when Circe has no other choice but to team up with her husband, who she despises, in order to find the truth behind the disappearances and the evil magic plaguing their lands.

Claimed by the vampire prince

" That's—" Gonan stuttered. He had never stuttered in his entire life. " That's truly unfortunate."

Gonan faked a look of sympathy, his eyes drooping in faux sadness. He was still pretending that he and Cornelia had been close, so it would look strange if he didn't at least seem upset about her disappearance.

The stranger was watching him now. He probably expected him to be worried or shaken, and if Gonan acted too calm, it might raise questions he wasn't ready to answer. Questions like why he was really asking about Cornelia. So he did what he had to, put on a concerned face and played the part, even if he didn't feel any of it. Gonan didn't feel much of anything when it came to the matter of the assassin and his sister.

The only time he felt much of anything was when he imagined telling Ragnar what he discovered and how his friend would react to the news. Ragnar would find a way to blame himself for what happened and Gonan didn't like it when he did.
