"Some princes are born to rule. Others are born to kneel. "Crown Prince Caelum Salutregui was raised to be humanity's perfect weapon-diplomatic, deadly, and utterly devoted to destroying the vampire empire. What he wasn't raised to know? He's vampire royalty himself. When the Ashan Federation offers him as a "peace tribute" to the very monsters he's sworn to hate, Caelum expects torture, death, maybe both. He doesn't expect General Velis Drayke-a sadist in uniform who sees right through his royal mask to the defiant soul beneath. But in the Crimson Dominion, submission is statecraft and pleasure is politics. Content Warnings:Contains mature themes, political violence, blood and vampire content, steamy romance scenes, and complex moral choices suitable for adult readers.
