Description
◆ Captured. Humiliated. Collared by the enemy. ◆
That's how Kira arrives at Volmasque Academy, a castle where wolf shifters like her are reduced to mere playthings for their vampire overlords.
Fuelled by a burning desire for revenge, Kira devises a secret mission: to unite the wolf packs and overthrow their vampire oppressors. All whilst avoiding her captor, Nathaniel, the arrogant vampire prince who'd dared to put a collar on her.
Unable to resist his attraction to Kira, Nathaniel sets out to claim her as his own, determined to make her sit, stay, and please him like a good pet. But he soon discovers that Kira is not so easily tamed, and her defiance ignites a dark, forbidden desire within him--one that threatens to melt his icy heart.
As Kira and Nathaniel navigate an enemies-to-lovers power dynamic, their dangerous attraction deepens, exposing their hidden vulnerabilities and secrets. In this battle for dominance, they will both discover just how far they are willing to go for revenge, power...and even love.
Unleash your darkest fantasies with Collared by the Vampire Prince, a SPICY fast-paced story that will have you turning the pages aching for more. If you're not already on your knees, pet, you soon will be.

Advance Praise
"An adult version of Vampire Diaries with all the spice."
"50 Shades meets dark fantasy...but spicier."
"A bingeworthy one-handed read that had me blushing."
"Kira and Nathaniel are enemies to lovers to the fullest...I loved the back and forth banter between the two."

The writing style? Loved it!"
"I've read a LOT of fantasy novels with wolves and vampires, and this book has plot lines and fantasy twists I've never seen in other works. There were twists that I really didn't expect, but if I were to go back and reread I feel like I'd see foreshadowing—I really like this quality in books.

The characters were well developed and I loved the mix of personalities and getting to know them as they book progressed
The book had a well developed and planned out storyline and I thought it was really well written. It really held my attention and I flew through the pages as I wanted to find out what was happening – not one for the feint hearted!

Let’s start off by saying HOLY SPICE 🌶️🌶️ The scenes in this book are not for the faint of heart! I love a good vampire/ werewolf romance. Nathaniel is closed off and cold while Kira is strong willed and determined. She has one goal in her life and that’s to join the highest ranking pack and do away with all vampires.
The tension between her and Nathaniel’s first meeting was already at an all time high and only escalated from there!
THE ENDING had me screaming! I did not see that coming at all!
I cannot wait to read the second book!

The tale centers around Kira, a fierce wolf shifter, who arrives at the imposing Volmasque Academy—a castle where her kind is tragically reduced to mere playthings for their vampiric overlords. The setting is rich with atmospheric descriptions that bring eerie beauty to the narrative, setting the stage for an exploration of power, revenge, and unexpected romance.
From the very first page, Kira is a force to be reckoned with. Fueled by a burning desire for revenge against the vampire lords, her determination to unite the wolf packs signifies her strength and resilience. Fayton skillfully crafts Kira’s character, making her both relatable and inspiring as she navigates her captor’s world with a blend of cunning and defiance. Nathaniel, the arrogant vampire prince who collared her, is written as a complex antagonist—initially portrayed as the quintessential dark ruler, he gradually reveals a more vulnerable side that complicates the power dynamics of their relationship.
The enemies-to-lovers trope thrives in this novel, giving rise to sizzling chemistry between Kira and Nathaniel. Their confrontations crackle with tension, showcasing Fayton’s ability to blend romance with a biting sense of conflict. As Kira fights against her circumstances, Nathaniel’s attraction to her becomes a double-edged sword. He’s torn between his duty as a prince and the raw, forbidden desire that Kira ignites within him. This internal conflict not only humanizes Nathaniel but also adds layers to their connection, challenging the conventional boundaries of power and submission.
While some plot points may tread familiar ground in the paranormal romance genre, Fayton’s unique world-building and strong character development breathe new life into the narrative. The book’s pacing is brisk, ensuring that readers remain hooked from Kira’s initial arrival at the academy to the climactic confrontations that shape her fate.
I highly recommend this book! Especially to fans of dark romance and supernatural.
