Their union was meant to end a war. Instead, it might ignite a revolution. King of Battle and Blood is the first book in a scorching new series by Scarlett St. Clair.
Isolde de Lara considers her wedding day to be her death day. To end a years-long war and protect her people, she has agreed to marry the vampire king, Adrian Aleksandr Vasiliev—and her plan is to kill him. But when her assassination attempt is thwarted, Adrian delivers a chilling warning: if she tries again, he will raise her as the undead.
Faced with the brutal machinations of a vampire court, Isolde seeks any way to defy the man she was raised to hate. Yet, as she navigates a world wrapped in mystery and a past Adrian refuses to discuss, she find herself fighting a different battle: an intense, undeniable attraction to her husband. In a game of blood and politics, Isolde must decide if the king is the monster she feared, or the only one capable of saving her.
If you loved the tension of A Court of Thorns and Roses or the dark allure of From Blood and Ash, this is your next obsession. Here is why it’s a favorite:
Ultimate Enemies-to-Lovers: The "I’m married to the man I’m supposed to kill" trope is executed with incredible heat and emotional depth.
A Fierce Heroine: Isolde is a warrior princess who is as sharp with her wits as she is with a blade.
The "Morally Grey" King: Adrian is fierce, complicated, and unexpectedly tender, making him a top-tier book boyfriend for adult romance readers.
Breathtaking World-Building: Scarlett St. Clair crafts a dark, atmospheric fantasy world filled with vampires, court intrigue, and ancient secrets.
