Thorns of the hollow crown

Five centuries is a long time to wait for a miracle. For Alaric Vesper, the wait ends when he finds Callie Thorne. Callie is no fragile damsel. A sharp-tongued librarian with a mean left hook, she has spent her life building walls to keep the world out. When a brooding, ancient stranger claims she is his long-lost soulmate, she doesn't fall into his arms-she tries to break his nose. But Alaric isn't her only shadow.
A fanatical secret society known as the Order of the Hollow Crown has marked Callie for death, hunting her for the rare, powerful blood she doesn't even know she possesses. As Alaric's oldest enemies close in and Callie's own dark powers begin to manifest, the two are forced into an uneasy alliance. Beneath the city, in Alaric's subterranean empire of shadows and blood, Callie must decide if she can trust the monster who wants to possess her soul.
In a world where love is a weakness and blood is a crown, their passion might be the only thing more dangerous than the war they are about to start. Thorns of the Hollow Crown is a seductive, high-stakes paranormal romance perfect for fans of fated mates and enemies-to-lovers tension.
