To destroy the vampires who killed her family… she must become one of them.

Nadi is trapped in a deadly alliance with Raziel Nostrom. After a honeymoon soaked in blood and desire, they make a pact—to take down his criminal family together.

Now Nadi is at the heart of the Nostrom empire, pretending to be a vampire. If her act slips even for a moment, they will tear her apart.

Raziel holds Nadi’s life in his hands. And her heart… His wicked smile sets her body aflame, drawing her closer and closer. Still, he is a born killer—alluring and utterly ruthless. He could turn on her in an instant.

But Raziel is not the only one in his family with a taste for betrayal…

When his brother and sister approach her with proposals of their own, Nadi faces a desperate choice. Will she stand by Raziel, as the world turns against him? Or seize the perfect chance to destroy his family forever?

A thrilling and addictive dark vampire romance, the Bloodlines series is perfect for fans of Carissa Broadbent, Keri Lake, and Kaylie Smith.

Kathryn Ann Kingsley

Kathryn Ann Kingsley doesn’t just write stories, she opens doorways into worlds where beauty and dread walk hand in hand. A USA Today bestselling author, she has become a distinctive voice in dark fantasy and paranormal romance, known for blending the allure of forbidden love with the chill of the uncanny. Readers who step into her series, whether the sinister Masks of Under, the haunting Harrow Faire, or the shadow-drenched Maze of Shadows, quickly discover that her villains are never one-dimensional, her romances are never simple, and the monsters are often the most compelling characters of all.

Her path to fiction began far from the page. Born in Northampton, Massachusetts, Kingsley earned a degree in Theatre Design from Boston University and spent years crafting stories through light, sound, and spectacle for stage productions and immersive attractions. Later, as a Creative Director in interactive entertainment and video game design, she honed her ability to shape atmosphere and tension, skills that now echo through her novels in the form of vivid settings, cinematic pacing, and dialogue that feels alive.

Behind her fascination with horror and fantasy lies a personal connection to performance and spectacle. Her family history traces back to Vaudeville, and she carries that legacy into her fiction with characters who thrive on masks, illusions, and the eerie intimacy of the carnival stage. She has also drawn upon her own experiences with chronic illness to bring authenticity and depth to the struggles her heroines face, reminding readers that vulnerability can exist alongside resilience.

With dozens of novels published, Kathryn Ann Kingsley continues to expand her body of work. Her recent Bloodlines series begins with The Serpent’s Bride, weaving themes of ancient bargains, dangerous devotion, and power that comes at a price. Beyond her novels, she has also contributed her narrative talents to the gaming world, helping shape romance and storylines in interactive media such as Warframe: 1999.

For readers seeking fantasy that revels in shadows, romance that embraces danger, and stories that blur the line between the monstrous and the beautiful, Kathryn Ann Kingsley offers an invitation difficult to resist.

Bloodline

Some bargains whisper of hope, others coil like a trap. In the Bloodline series, desire and danger are bound so tightly together that one can never be separated from the other.

It begins with a desperate ritual, a plea made at midnight by someone who no longer believes in miracles. Instead of silence, an ancient power answers, draped in beauty and terror, offering salvation at a cost no mortal could ever truly afford. What follows is not a simple romance but a descent into a world where devotion can be as destructive as it is intoxicating.

The story thrives in shadow, where gods, monsters, and mortals collide, each tethered by secrets, temptation, and the weight of promises that cannot be broken. Rather than heroes in shining armor, the series offers lovers who are dangerous, alluring, and utterly inescapable. Every choice carries a consequence, every vow binds tighter than chains, and love itself becomes both sanctuary and snare.

For readers drawn to dark fantasy romance with gothic atmosphere, morally complex characters, and a constant edge of menace, Bloodline is a tale that lingers like a half-remembered dream, beautiful and unsettling all at once.
