Blood Of Two Kingdoms

Introduction

Most people spend their lives searching for who they are. Becca Nightshade spent hers trying to survive.

At eighteen years old, Becca—known as Becs to the few people she trusted — had never known a real home. Abandoned as a child and raised within the walls of Saint Catherine’s Medical Center, she grew up believing she was sick, different, and broken. The doctors monitored her constantly, the nurses whispered behind closed doors, and no one ever seemed willing to answer the questions that haunted her.

Questions like why she healed so quickly. Why could she hear conversations from impossible distances? Why do her eyes sometimes flash gold to crimson when she was angry? Or why she dreamed every night of a burning castle and a woman calling her “little moon.”

Standing at five feet seven inches tall, Becca possessed a quiet beauty she never fully recognized in herself. Her long raven-black hair fell in loose waves down her back, often wild and untamed no matter how hard she tried to brush it. Her pale skin contrasted sharply against her dark hair, giving her an almost ethereal appearance.

Her most striking feature, however, were her eyes. In certain light they appeared deep emerald green, but hidden beneath the surface lurked something far more unusual. When strong emotions took hold- fear, anger, or grief- flecks of molten gold and crimson would flicker within them before disappearing just as quickly.

Years of confinement had left their mark. Becca carried herself cautiously, always expecting disappointment or betrayal. She rarely smiled, trusted few people, and preferred solitude to crowds. Yet beneath the walls she built around her heart lived a fiercely loyal young woman with a stubborn streak capable of driving anyone crazy.

Especially an Lycan Alpha King.

Though she didn’t know it yet, Becca was far more than an orphan. Far more than a patient. Far more than a girl trapped inside a hospital. She was the last surviving heir of a fallen Vampire kingdom.

The daughter of a Vampire King and a Werewolf Alpha daughter. A hybrid unlike any the supernatural world had ever seen. A princess long believed dead. A weapon powerful enough to change the fate of two kingdoms.

And somewhere in the darkness, enemies who had spent eighteen years hunting her were finally learning the truth.

The lost princess survived, and her story was only beginning.
