The Dragon King Returns: The Perfect Lie

The Golden Queen is dead. Long live the King.

Lord Rolstrick Ke’Clan McCullen is the stunning pinnacle of a seven-thousand-year lineage—a Quad-Hybrid Prince engineered for absolute perfection. To the outside world, he is the flawless heir to the McCullen Dynasty. But behind his regal mask, Rolstrick hides a devastating secret: he is a man possessed by the golden ghost of an ancient, parasitic Queen.

For years, the "Perfect Lie" held. But when a political betrayal shatters his mental defenses, the Prince’s fire erupts in a violent wave of molten gold. Rolstrick is no longer the savior; he is the contagion.

Exiled to the storm-swept cliffs of Blackrock Castle, the survival of the Prince falls to the Dhampir Dynasty—the warriors and protectors who know that the only way to stabilize a god is through the salt of the earth. Lucy, his primary guard, must become his human anchor, tethering her soul to his fire before the Queen’s vengeance consumes them all.

In this explosive spin-off to the Killer, Casino Vampire series, the masks are stripped away, the bloodlines are tested, and the truth is finally coming for the McCullen name.

The Lie is broken. The fire is rising. The reign of the Dhampirs begins now.
