THE BLOOD QUEEN: THE LOST SOUL

Queen Seraphina Hetherton has ruled a hidden vampire empire for centuries. Beautiful, powerful, and feared, she has learned that love is a dangerous weakness—especially when you are surrounded by people who would kill for your throne.

Her marriage to King Lucien is one of political convenience. To the outside world, they are the perfect immortal royal couple. Behind closed doors, however, Seraphina knows her husband does not love her. Lucien wants her empire, her bloodline, and the power that comes with the Hetherton throne.

Seraphina has spent centuries guarding another secret.

Elias Vale.

Once, Elias was the one person Seraphina loved without reservation. Their connection was deeper than desire and more powerful than blood. But their relationship ended in betrayal, violence, and a decision Seraphina has spent centuries regretting.

To save Elias, she helped erase his memories.

She never expected him to find his way back.

During a violent storm, Elias arrives at the gates of Hetherton Manor with no understanding of why the ancient estate feels strangely familiar. He has spent years plagued by dreams he cannot explain—blood on snow, a woman's voice calling his name, a crown, a burning castle, and the overwhelming feeling that someone is waiting for him.

Then he meets Seraphina.

The moment she sees him, the queen knows the impossible has happened.

Elias is alive.

But Elias doesn't remember her.

As he remains at the manor, fragments of his forgotten past begin returning. An ancient portrait. A mysterious ring. Hidden letters. Strange sounds beneath the house. And a locked room that seems to hold answers no one wants him to discover.

The more Elias questions Seraphina, the more difficult it becomes for her to maintain the lies that have protected him for centuries.

And their attraction returns with a force neither of them can control.

But Elias's return has consequences.

Lucien knows more about the stranger than he admits. He recognizes the threat Elias represents and begins quietly moving pieces across the royal court. While Seraphina struggles between protecting Elias and telling him the truth, enemies within the vampire empire begin closing in.

Because Elias isn't simply a lost vampire.

His blood carries a forgotten claim.

His soul is connected to Seraphina's.

And together, they may possess something ancient vampires have spent centuries trying to control—the power known as the Crown of Souls.

As the secrets of their past begin to surface, Seraphina must finally face the truth about what she did to the man she loved.

Elias must decide whether he can forgive the woman who stole his memories.

And both must discover who was truly responsible for tearing them apart.

Because Lucien may not be the greatest danger.

Something much older has been watching.

Something that fears what Seraphina and Elias could become together.

Their reunion was never supposed to happen.

Their love was never supposed to survive.

And now that the lost soul has found his way home...

the entire vampire kingdom may be forced to pay the price.
