THE WITCH IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT
A decadently dark romantasy in which a hidden witch is unmasked and forced to become a living weapon for a vampiric king and his brooding brother.
When Finn, a human maid in the court of the vampire king, is discovered using magic, King Mordric offers her a tantalizing choice: master her powers by the summer solstice, and she may earn a coveted seat on his council. Assigned to guide her is Prince Enhart, the king’s arrogant younger brother and one of the rare souls with the skill to train her.
As Finn is drawn into a whirlwind of courtly intrigue, brewing power plays, and dangerous temptation, she finds herself at a crossroads. To secure her place among the king’s elite—and perhaps win his heart—she must navigate a labyrinth of treachery and unearth a conspiracy that stretches back centuries.
The vampires of Valen may not crave blood, but that doesn’t make them any less bloodthirsty.
