Gate of Blood & Tears
Gate of Blood & Tears
Everything you know about vampires is wrong.
They were never meant to exist.
For millennia, the ancient order Ferrum Aeternum has hunted blood drinkers, and they know the moment the Initiate awakens.
Selene has spent her life trying to be normal since waking on a beach at thirteen with no memory of her childhood.
Then she meets Luke.
Powerful. Dangerously magnetic. And somehow familiar.
One explosive kiss, one taste of his blood, and the Beast buried inside Selene breaks free, along with a recognition that feels older than memory.
Normal is over.
Now Selene faces an unquenchable thirst for blood, an ancient prophecy, and an order that knows more about her than she knows about herself, including the twin sister she never knew existed.
And Luke? Possessive, lethal, and as consumed by the inexplicable bond between them as she is, he'll do anything to keep her alive.
Hunted at every turn, they have only days to find an ancient Gate that may finally answer the question haunting Selene:
Who am I?
With two worlds beginning to fracture, they must reach the Gate before the order reaches them… or beats them to it.
Whatever lies beyond is their only chance to stop the cataclysm neither world may survive.
In the dark underworld of Blood Drinkers and full Vampires, power flows from a corrupted source…ancient, unseen, and waiting. Something festers beneath their empire. Something hungry.
Beyond the veil, Atlantis thrives — a feminine-led dimension where magic bows to Queens and Dragons are revered, not feared.
Here, power is inherited in blood. Here, women do not kneel.
But prophecy has fractured.
When time itself begins to shift, a destined Queen and her dangerously devoted King are thrust into a war neither dimension is prepared for. He would burn worlds to protect her.
She was born to command them.
And then there is her Twin.
Born of the same blood. Raised in the shadow of the enemy. Twisted by envy and willing to repeat the ancient betrayal of the First to claim a crown that was never hers. She will drown both realms in chaos and blood to take what destiny has denied...A throne never meant for her.
Two dimensions.
One corrupted power.
One morally gray King.
One Queen destined to reign.
And a love so fierce, so consuming, it blurs the line between devotion and obsession.
Because when a Queen rises and her Protector and King chooses her above all else…
Entire realms will bleed.
