She thought she was restoring a painting.
She didn't know the painting was restoring her.
Close your eyes for a moment.
Imagine you are the only person in a museum at midnight. Rain streaks the windows. The city hums somewhere far below you. And in your hands-a discovery that every instinct tells you to put down.
You don't put it down.
You never do.
ELARA BERGMAN has spent twelve years in the silence between brushstrokes. She speaks the language of oil and pigment, of cracked varnish and hidden glaze. She trusts science. She trusts precision. She trusts nothing she cannot verify under ultraviolet light.
Until the ultraviolet light reveals something that cannot exist.
A secret, buried inside a Renaissance painting for five hundred years, sealed with crimson silk and written in a language no living human should be able to read.
And yet she reads it.
The moment Elara's fingers close around the ancient scroll, a world she never knew existed tears itself open around her. A world of bloodlines and centuries-old covenants. Of creatures who walk like men and hunger like wolves. Of a war that has been burning in the dark since before her grandmother's grandmother was born.
And at the center of it all: Lord Damian Blackwood.
Beautiful in the way that ruins are beautiful. Cold in the way that January stone is cold. Three hundred years old, exiled from his own kind, bleeding from a wound that smokes at the edges-and standing in her locked studio as if walls had never meant anything to him.
He wants the scroll.
He says it's to protect her.
She almost believes him.
I have been waiting for you for three hundred years.
That sounds like a problem you should have planned better.
What follows is a story you will feel in your chest before you understand it in your mind.
A chase through Manhattan at midnight. A secret speakeasy buried beneath the Met. A blood bond that shows her everything-his grief, his guilt, his three centuries of beautiful, terrible loneliness. A villain who doesn't simply want power. He wants ownership. And a heroine who discovers, one choice at a time, that the most dangerous thing in this world was never the vampire beside her.
It was always the blood in her own veins.
The Sunblood doesn't give.
They choose.
And every choice has a cost.
The Sunblood Covenant is a paranormal romance for readers who want their love stories dark, their heroines sharp, and their happy endings earned in blood.
If you loved Blood and Ash, Vampire Academy, or A Court of Thorns and Roses - you've been waiting for this book.
Pick it up.
Turn the first page.
You won't put it down until dawn.
