We are death and shadow, we are nightmares come alive, we are vampires.
Thirty years have passed since vampire king Tyr Ulfhednar was torn from his throne and banished to the bottom of the sea. Freed from his prison, Tyr doesn't know what to expect when he returns home to Scarlet Harbor. But even a thousand years of existence can't prepare him for her.
Newly-turned vampire Ashley King does her best to rise to the never-ending challenges of being queen. When a sexy, powerful stranger shows up on her doorstep with a claim to her throne, she's as tempted to kill him as she is to kiss him. But this perceived enemy might just be the only chance she has at conquering the trials that lie ahead…if he doesn't conquer her first.
