About this book
An ER nurse from Los Angeles, my life was defined by the mundane until a mysterious knight dragged me through the Veil into Terrea. This isn't just a different world; it is a brutal, archaic realm of vampire courts where I am suddenly thrust into a role I never asked for. They claim I am their lost queen, destined to save a dying kingdom, but I am trapped, far from my sister, and desperate to return to the life I once knew.
My only tether to this terrifying new reality is Prince Varan, the heir to the throne. He is a cold, snarling nightmare who despises my presence, yet our connection is undeniable. Thrust into forced proximity, we are caught in a volatile enemies-to-lovers dance where every interaction simmers with dangerous tension. As the slow-burn attraction between us ignites, I must navigate the lethal politics of vampire royalty to survive.
This urban fantasy delivers a gripping tale of fated-mates and dark secrets that will haunt you long after the final page. If you crave high-stakes paranormal romance with deep world-building and a heart-pounding forbidden connection, this is the addictive start to a legendary series you cannot afford to miss.

This is the series that brought me back to reading, and the fantasy world. I absolutely love this series. Eight stories by eight different authors that all tie together in an amazing way. It is stated that these stories can be read in any order, there is a suggested order to read the stories. This is suggested since there is a tie in from one story into the next story.

What a wild ride! This book had a bit of everything and there certainly wasn’t a dull moment to be found. I loved this new world and all the different kingdoms and courts. I also really enjoyed the characters and their banter. It was full of tension and hate/love. (Trust me it’s worth it in the end) Some tropes found here: - fish out of water - amnesia - second chances - hate/love - enemies to lovers vibes - found family - quests - save each other - strong leads - royalty - bits of steam ) 2...

I very rarely give 5 stars, but this book earned it. Great plot, world building, believable and relatable characters, and plenty of spice. a bit dark but not overly so, the conflict was enough to keep me wanting to see the resolution, but not enough that I wanted to stop reading. I've been in a rh kick lately, but I didn't even mind that there was only one mc. Great hea too . Thanks for the great read. ) One person found this helpful

I loved this new world that Chandelle and these other amazing authors created and can’t wait to read the other stories! This book was magnificent, great story and character development. Rhode was hilarious but also extremely relatable which makes you bond with her in this book. I definitely experienced a love/hate relationship with Valan. Definitely swoon worthy but he irked me with his treatment of Rhode at times. Valan came off a little immature with his inability to process and express his...
