Description
MY PENANCE WILL NEVER BE ENOUGH
The second installment of the The BloodStone Legacy—a dark, seductive paranormal romance about destiny and the prices we pay for love powerful enough to transcend both death and time.
Three centuries of guilt.
Two souls reunited.
One chance to defy fate.
After spending three hundred years drowning in guilt for murdering his wife on their wedding night, Aden has found the impossible—her soul, reborn in Ellie—a woman who awakens both his deepest love and darkest fears. Their reunion is everything he's dreamed of, a chance to atone for their tragic past. But some happy endings come with a price.
As Aden and Ellie lose themselves in their newfound passion, they awaken more than just forgotten memories. Ellie's own demons push her to confront the tragedy that tore them apart, while sinister forces gather in the shadows, determined to destroy their hard-won happiness.
Aden will burn the vampire world to the ground to keep Ellie safe. But with every ancient law he breaks and every powerful enemy he makes, the price of protecting her rises.
Aden thought nothing could be worse than killing the woman he loved. He's about to learn how wrong he was.
Set in a dystopian future where vampires rule and humans are slaves, against a backdrop of danger and political intrigue, Aden and Ellie’s love will either transform their blood-soaked world—or burn it to ash.
Perfect for fans of J.R. Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood, Sarah J. Maas's Crescent City, Scarlett St. Clair's Adrian X Isolde, Karina Halle's The Dracula Duet, and readers who crave their romance dark, passionate, and unforgettable with brooding anti-heroes paired with resilient heroines.
