Mated to the Night Vampire - A Fated Bond of Shadows and Surrender #942378

She was born without a soul mark—branded Hollow, deemed worthless, denied the goddess's gift of a fated mate. Revenna Thornwood has survived twenty-two years of slavery through silence, invisibility, and the stubborn refusal to break. When she's purchased at auction for an obscene sum by the most feared vampire lord in the five territories, she expects death. What she discovers instead will shatter everything she believed about herself.
Lord Caelum Vexoran hasn't taken interest in anyone for two centuries. Cold, ancient, and merciless, he rules the Court of Eternal Night with absolute authority while fighting a constant war against the demon bound to his soul. He shouldn't want the Hollow slave with strange silver hair and fierce grey eyes. He definitely shouldn't feel the darkness inside him quiet when she's near. But something in Revenna's blood calls to him across impossible distances—a connection that defies explanation and threatens to destroy his carefully maintained control.
As political enemies circle and assassination attempts multiply, Revenna begins to discover the truth hidden behind her cursed veil. She is not what she appears to be. The mark she was told she lacked was sealed at birth to protect her from those who would exploit her power—or destroy her before she could claim it. She is the last heir to a bloodline thought extinct, carrying within her the potential to reshape the supernatural world or burn it to ashes.
Now hunted by courts who see her as a weapon to be wielded, Revenna must choose her own path. She can embrace the destiny written in her blood and become the queen prophecy demands. She can surrender to those who would sacrifice her for their own ambitions. Or she can forge something new—a bond of equals with the monster who chose her, an alliance built on choice rather than compulsion, a future where power serves rather than enslaves.
But awakening has costs. Each use of her gifts erases pieces of who she is. The demon inside Caelum grows hungrier with every passing day. And ancient entities stir beyond barriers that weaken with each century, patient predators waiting for the moment the seals finally fail.
In a world where blood determines worth and bonds are forged without consent, one Hollow woman will discover that her greatest power isn't the magic singing in her veins—it's the connections she chooses to build and the people who choose her in return.
