The Viper and The Bloodlands (Rise of the Viper Queen Book 2)
About
To Vanquish The Darkness, I Must Embrace My Destiny.
After a soul-crushing betrayal, Calista finds herself trapped in the clutches of King Gideon, ruler of the Bloodlands and King of Vampires. Promised in marriage by the father she has never met, she must find a way to break the agreement and return with her sisters to the Mortal Realm—but escape is hard in a vampire-filled castle where danger lurks around every corner.
Her search is interrupted when the bodies of deceased Fae begin appearing across Stellaris, drained entirely of their magic. As fear spreads, the three kingdoms must unite against an ancient enemy believed to be extinct...the Volge. Deadly creatures that can drain the magic and life from any source with just a single touch.
As the darkness closes in, all eyes turn to Calista—the prophesied heir of Stellaris—to rise as Queen and embrace her destiny. But claiming the crown means surviving the Starforged Trials. Three grueling, dangerous tests that will prove once and for all if she is the true Queen of Stellaris.
To survive and triumph, Calista must rely on the two men she despises and trusts least. Her possessive new husband and the mate that shattered her heart. But like they say...there is always a fine line between love and hate. As time passes, feelings begin to blur, and Calista finds herself more confused than before.
Will Killian redeem himself and win back her heart before she gives it away to someone else? Or does Killian’s deception run deeper than Calista could ever imagine?
Can Calista claim her crown and embrace her destiny in time to save Stellaris...or will she be forced to watch as all the magic in Stellaris is devoured by darkness.
