Blood of the AncientUpdated at Feb 17, 2026, 08:36
Centuries of agony. A single drop of blood. A hunger that will burn the world.
For two hundred years, Lachlain MacRieve, King of the Lykaons, has been imprisoned in a hellish tomb, fueled only by his hatred for the vampires who put him there. When the scent of his fated mate finally reaches his prison, he breaks his chains in a whirlwind of primal fury, only to find that his "halfling" bride is the very thing he loathes most.
Emmaline Troy has spent her life hiding her half-vampire, half-Valkyrie heritage. She is shy, ethereal, and terrified of the massive, scarred beast who claims she belongs to him. Forced into a journey from the streets of Paris to a haunting Scottish castle, Emma must navigate a world of ancient lore where she is the ultimate prize.
As enemies close in and a secret war ignites, the beast must learn to protect the woman he intended to punish. In the Lore, love isn't just a feeling, it’s a battle for survival.
Will she be his salvation, or the final tithe that breaks his soul?
