Bloodbound bride
In a kingdom teetering on the edge of ruin, twenty-year-old Peach Vexley is sacrificed in a desperate pact-forced into marriage with the feared and immortal Demetrius, Lord of Duskfall Keep and last of the pureblood vampire lineages. She is sent as a political offering. A bride for protection. A lamb for the monster in the mountains. But Peach is no lamb. Defiant, sharp-witted, and unwilling to bend, she refuses to become a pawn in a game played by lords, kings, and creatures far older than she can comprehend. As she navigates the chilling corridors of Duskfall-where shadows whisper and power flows like blood-she discovers secrets buried beneath stone and silence. Demetrius, cold and seemingly unfeeling, has long abandoned the world of men and the weakness of love. But Peach's presence stirs something dormant in him-something dangerous. As the forced union between them deepens, what began as a calculated alliance begins to shift. Trust blossoms amid tension. Hate becomes heat. And hearts, once guarded by fangs and fire, begin to betray their keepers. But darker forces are moving. An ancient prophecy awakens. Blood magic returns. Enemies circle from within and beyond the kingdom-and not all of them want Peach alive. In a land where love is forbidden, and survival is war, can a bride bound by blood unravel the fate set before her-or will she become just another ghost in the vampire's halls?
