prologue

A dark, mysterious beauty lingers around the king, weaving havoc among the vampires. She has captured the hearts of both the king and his heir, concealed behind a mask that only hints at her true allure. Her voice is as enchanting as a siren's, her beauty as striking and dangerous as a poisonous snake. She speaks only when spoken to and harbors deep, dark secrets. Whispers circulate through the court: the queen of vampires is ill, and Sophie is rumored to be positioning herself for a takeover. The court schemes to overthrow or intimidate her, but little do they know, Sophie is well-prepared for their machinations.
