The world of Veyndrel has always balanced between two races — humans, who build and destroy, and vampires, who rule and hunger. For centuries, an ancient truce kept them apart. But when the Blood Moon rises after a hundred years, it awakens a curse older than either race remembers. Ren Kael, a human soldier haunted by his family’s slaughter, seeks vengeance on vampires. His hunt leads him to Lyra Veyne, a vampire countess who once ruled an entire region with cold precision. But when Ren’s blood touches Lyra’s in battle, the moon reacts — forging an unbreakable Bloodlink between them. Now, if one dies… the other perishes too. Forced into an uneasy alliance, they uncover the truth behind the Blood Moon: it’s not just a celestial event, but a living entity feeding on emotion, fear, and love. It turns mortals into monsters and monsters into gods. While Seren Valcrest manipulates events to seize the moon’s power and Kara Durne leads a crusade to destroy all vampires, Ren and Lyra’s bond deepens. Between hatred and desire, they must decide whether to break their curse — or embrace it and rewrite the fate of both races. As the final night approaches and the moon bleeds red across the sky, the line between human and vampire fades. Lyra Veyne: Cold, elegant vampire countess hiding centuries of sorrow.
