CROWN OF VENOM AND VELVETCROWN OF VENOM AND VELVETVesper—ElsewhereLanguage: English18+ 538.9K wordsOngoingIntroductionIn a world suffocated by eternal twilight, mortals are nothing but cattle or collateral. When nineteen-year-old Kaelia's little sister awakens with a forbidden, world-shattering power, she is immediately claimed as the destined Sworn of an ancient Vampire Warlord. To the immortal courts, the twelve-year-old is a prized vessel. To Kaelia, she is family. And Kaelia will burn the empire to the ground before she lets a monster take her. Forced to accompany her sister into the treacherous Obsidian Fortress, Kaelia is dismissed by the blood-drinking elite as a fragile, powerless human tag-along. A pathetic creature with no fangs, no magic, and no chance of survival. They couldn't be more wrong. Armed with an arsenal of lethal, human-engineered chemical toxins hidden beneath her coat, Kaelia has a simple plan: assassinate the Warlord the moment he tries to lay a hand on her sister. But when she finally presses a glass vial of highly corrosive silver-nitrate to the throat of the most ruthless predator in the kingdom, he doesn't call the guards. He doesn't execute her. Instead, he smiles. Fascinated by the absolute murder in her eyes, the Warlord finds himself intoxicatingly drawn to the only creature in centuries who possesses the audacity—and the means—to end his life. He wanted a magical anchor. What he got was a mortal assassin. A deadly game of cat and mouse begins within the locked gates of the fortress. She has the venom to melt his heart. He has the power to claim her soul. And in the dark, love is the most fatal poison of all.ParanormalFatedHuman MateEnemies to LoversVampireHeirPrinceStrong Female LeadRed FlagColdCleanViolenceAngstSlow Burn283 ChaptersOngoingMay You LikeLethal Outcast: The Princes' Forbidden WeaponThe Lycan King's Ruthless SalvationSeven Sunsets to Sever the AlphaShattered Sanctuary: The First Luna's SeveranceSavage Vows: The Tyrant's White WolfCaged No More: The True Heir's WrathTethered to the Syndicate DonBreathless Under The Alpha HeirThe Iron Alpha's Accidental MateRead now
