Blood Of The Covenant: A Steamy Paranormal Romance (Bonded By Blood #3)

copy link copy title and author

I've been manipulating fate for eight hundred years.

As an ancient vampire emissary with more schemes than scruples, I've orchestrated treaties, toppled courts, and survived wars that would make demons weep. I'm Malach Voss—silver-haired, cynical, and perfectly content never letting anyone past my carefully constructed walls.

Love? That's for fools who haven't learned that everyone betrays you eventually.

Then a three-hundred-year-old betrothal contract drags me back to face my past. And her.

Princess Celestia Nightbloom is everything I'm not—idealistic, honorable, determined to save a world I stopped believing in centuries ago. She's Summer Court fae royalty with nature magic in her veins and stubbornness that could outlast immortality itself. We have one year to marry or her entire bloodline dies.

Perfect. I excel at impossible situations.

Except the contract magic has other plans. It binds us together—literally. Separation causes pain. Proximity sparks heat I haven't felt in centuries. And every touch, every argument, every moment she refuses to let me hide behind my masks... it's breaking down walls I spent lifetimes building.

Now we're racing against three threats:

A cult trying to merge the void realm with our world. A plague killing hybrid species. And a betrothal contract that demands more than a political marriage—it wants our souls.

She thinks she can redeem me. I know I'll only corrupt her.

But when an ancient enemy captures her to complete a ritual that requires my willing sacrifice?

Turns out even a cynical bastard like me has one weakness.

Her.

One scheming vampire who's forgotten how to feel. One idealistic princess who refuses to give up on him. A betrothal contract that might save them or destroy everything. And a bond forged in blood that will either redeem his darkness or consume her light.

Because when manipulation meets idealism, you don't get compromise.

You get revolution.
