BLOODLINES OF THE DAMNED Some secrets are buried. Others are buried in blood. Elena Vale has spent twenty-one years trying to be ordinary in a town that never let her forget she wasn't. She can't be burned. Can't be hurt by fire. Can't explain the strange knowing that creeps into her bones when danger is near—or the way shadows seem to follow her, watching, waiting. She thought her grandmother's death was the worst thing that could happen to her. She was wrong. On the night of her twenty-first birthday, a storm crashes against her door—and with it, two brothers who know everything about her. Damien Thorne is all dangerous charm and wolfish smiles, a man who makes her feel desired and terrified in equal measure. Silas Thorne is ice and shadow, cold and untouchable, a man who claims that loving her would be the greatest mistake of his existence—even as his eyes betray a longing that spans centuries. They are the last of an ancient bloodline of immortals. They are guardians of a supernatural world Elena never knew existed. And they are hiding the truth about why she was born. Because Elena isn't human. She never has been. Her blood carries the power to awaken an ancient curse—a curse that has slept for thousands of years, waiting for the one girl who can either save the supernatural world or destroy it. Now that she's come of age, every creature of darkness knows she exists. Vampires want her blood. Demons want her soul. And somewhere in the shadows, a secret society called the Midnight Circle will stop at nothing to claim her power for themselves. But the greatest danger isn't the monsters hunting her. It's the possibility that the man she's falling for may be responsible for destroying everyone she's ever loved. As Elena is drawn deeper into the Thorne brothers' world—a world of forbidden rituals, ancient prophecies, and a manor that holds secrets darker than any nightmare—she must uncover the truth about her mother's death, her family's curse, and the prophecy that binds her fate to two brothers who would die to protect her... or betray her to save themselves. Some loves are written in blood. Some destinies are sealed in fire. And some girls are born to burn. BLOODLINES OF THE DAMNED The curse awakens. The brothers hunger. And Elena must choose—before the darkness chooses her.
