Not all threats die with a blade to the throat. Some fester.

Sangrel is rebuilding after bloodshed, but peace is a fragile illusion—and King Elliott feels it cracking beneath his crown. Whispers coil through his court, questioning his rule, his queen, and the future of a throne that may never have an heir. As unrest grows, Elliott discovers a far more intimate danger: the crown itself has been poisoning him, slowly reshaping him into the ruthless monster his enemies expect him to become.

With his wife Arielle at his side, Elliott dares to remove the crown—and in doing so, exposes vulnerabilities his rivals are eager to exploit.

When his long-dead brother resurfaces and the Blood Moon threatens to tear open the veil between realms, a darker truth emerges. Someone far more powerful is pulling the strings. To stop a war before it spills into the mortal world, Elliott must confront the architect of his family’s ruin: his uncle Draven—a being of ancient magic, cruelty, and hunger.

Captured, tortured, and dragged through nightmares forged from guilt, grief, and ghosts long buried, Elliott is forced to face the question at the heart of his reign:

How much of himself can he lose before there’s nothing left worth saving?

Blood & Ivy is a dark fantasy romance filled with ruthless power, haunting illusions, twisted family bonds, and a love strong enough to challenge monsters—both born and made. Perfect for readers who crave morally gray kings, blood-soaked magic, and devotion sharpened by pain.
