Blood Price
Elias is a vampire, but not your average run of the mill vampire. He and the rest of the vampires in The Fold were created for the sole purpose of serving as guardians of witches. Elias is a Nightwarden. He’s been awakened from his stasis to serve as Nightwarden to a witch he can barely stand. But that doesn’t stop him from his duty.
Until she goes missing. Failure is not an option.
Mariya’s sister is High Sorceress of their coven. This doesn’t frustrate Mariya. What frustrates Mariya is that she’s inexplicably drawn to the strong, silent type—specifically, her sister’s Nightwarden, Elias.
Nightwardens do not engage in relationships. Witches do not consort with Nightwardens.
When Mariya’s High Sorceress sister is kidnapped, Mariya is forced to work in close proximity with Elias to get her sister back forces feelings to rise to the surface.
Blood Rules
Konstantin is a vampire on assignment. He’s one of the elite Nightwardens assigned—make that conscripted—to guard witches. He and the rest of his brethren serve one purpose. Bodyguards to the High Sorceresses. He shouldn’t be plagued by blood lust. He shouldn’t be yielding to emotions.
Monika is the daughter of a High Sorceress. To say she finds Konstantin attractive is to put it mildly, despite his brooding, dark, stoic front. She buys him an ancient sword, not knowing the price involved.
Until the one collecting on the price comes calling.
