She has become everything she ever wanted… and everything she despises.
Samara wakes in a prison cell as her worst nightmare: She’s a vampire, cursed with bloodlust that horrifies her. And though she now has the magic she’s always desperately craved, it’s a secret she must guard with her undead life.
Because this same magic marks her as an enemy of all vampires. Especially Raphael—their king.
Now, as a vampire, Samara is haunted by an inescapable thirst. In her sleep, she claws at her throat, trying to ease the pain. But when she’s around Raphael, her fangs ache for a deeper reason she can’t explain.
A mystical bond ties Samara to Raphael as her sire, preventing her from fleeing before he can discover her identity as the very witch he’s been hunting for centuries. Instead, she must journey with him to the Southern Vampire Kingdom. A journey that has her sharing both his carriage… and his bed.
There, Raphael offers her another bargain: Yield to her vampire nature and master her abilities, and he will help her break the bond.
But if she lowers her guard too much, if her control over the powers she barely understands slips and Raphael learns she’s the necromancer…
He’ll be forced to kill her.

In a land where power is born from blood and every bargain demands a price, the Kingdom of Dark Magic series draws readers into a world where nothing is freely given, and even love can be a weapon.
Read full series description
It begins with A Bargain So Bloody, where Samara, a witch condemned for crimes she didn’t commit, is locked within the stone walls of Castle Greymere. Her only path to freedom lies in the hands of Raphael, a vampire prisoner whose hunger is matched only by his thirst for vengeance. Bound by an impossible deal, their uneasy alliance sparks a slow and dangerous pull that blurs the line between savior and captor. What follows is a story of forbidden magic, fractured loyalties, and the cost of survival in a kingdom built on ruin.
Through shadowed corridors and blood-soaked promises, this dark fantasy romance unravels a tale of power reclaimed and desire that defies reason. The series weaves together gothic atmosphere, enemies-to-lovers tension, and the haunting beauty of a world where monsters and mortals are not so easily told apart.
For readers drawn to stories steeped in danger, passion, and the lure of forbidden magic, Kingdom of Dark Magic offers a journey where love is both the curse and the key to freedom.
