Bride of Brutal Hearts
Kate Stevens
The Bloodborne Court #1
She volunteered to die for her sister — now two vampire kings are obsessively, magically bound to her forever.
Description
Two vicious kings. One captive bride. Their magic should have destroyed me. Instead, it made them mine. When my sister’s name is called for the vampires’ harvest, I step forward. It’s a death sentence, but she has a family, a future. All I have is a dusty bookshop, an ailing body, and a fate that always ends in fangs. As the only volunteer, I’m claimed as the newest Mortal Bride—a living sacrifice to their two wicked kings. The Conqueror, ruthless and imposing, his icy demeanor concealing his fiery intensity. The Butcher, charming and capricious, his divine beauty disguising his cruel desires. The kings intend to drain my lifeforce to fuel the spell securing their reign. But when the ceremony goes awry, we’re all ensnared in an obsessive bond… one not even death can break. The Conqueror and the Butcher now hunger for more than my blood. They want all of me, forever. I should resist them. I should hate them. They are the monsters who devour my people. But no matter how brutal their hearts, I crave them just as fiercely. Bride of Brutal Hearts is a dark fantasy villain romance and the first book in the Bloodborne Court series. It features a slow burn romance with high heat between two morally black vampires and their captive bride. This book contains dark elements, graphic violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Readers can find more information in the Author’s Note and a detailed list on the author's website. Bride of Brutal Hearts is the first book in a planned quartet and some storylines will remain unresolved until the finale. While the series will end with a happily-ever-after, there will be plenty of trauma, death and groveling beforehand.
