Tale of the Deceived (The World of the Fallen Gates #1)

“The blood will spill,

The blood will flow,

The blood will be the end of all.”

I was human when the Gates fell and the war started. But ever since, I don't know what I am anymore.

What I do know is that I possess a precious bargaining chip—my blood. And everyone wants a drop of it: vampires, werewolves, and faes.

The only one who seems to see me as more than just a blood bag is the worst of them all: a vampire with haunting eyes, incapable of any emotions other than blinding rage. My sudden obsession with this mysterious loner is fearsome, but our connection is unexplainable—a recipe for disaster on my secret quest.

Throw in a werewolf who hates my guts and his younger brother with puppy-like behavior, and my mission to survive in the New World becomes increasingly messy.

He fears the memories his blood might show me.

I fear them too.

This is the first book of the duet and ends on a cliffhanger. It’s a slow burn with a lot of tension. The FMC has a few males adoring her, but she ends up with one. Strong language and adult situations. 18+. The second book follows shortly after.

Note from the author: Darriel is a complicated vampire, but give him a chance.
