King of Battle and Blood by Scarlett St. Clair (Paperback)

Isolde de Lara has been forced into a deadly union. Her wedding day is meant to be her last, a calculated move to end a years-long war by assassinating the vampire king, Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev. But her plan fails, and Adrian spares her life—with a chilling warning: another attempt will see her raised as the undead, transformed into the very thing she despises.

Now trapped in the brutal vampire court, Isolde must find ways to survive while navigating treacherous alliances and hidden enemies. Every step she takes is a gamble, and every glance from Adrian carries danger—and desire. Their chemistry is undeniable, igniting a fierce, forbidden tension that she cannot ignore.

Yet it isn’t the court or the threats around her that terrify Isolde the most—it’s Adrian himself. Savage, merciless, and all-consuming, he challenges everything she knows about power, loyalty, and her own heart. As Isolde seeks a path to defy him and stay alive, she discovers a secret behind Adrian’s choice that will shake her world to its core.

In a court ruled by blood, vengeance, and desire, Isolde must survive, resist, and unravel the truth before it’s too late.
