Of Blood and Roses (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781961052420)

My name is Valerius Loran. I Turned on my eleventh birthday. Everything changed after that.

I have been running my whole life-from the Crimson Order, from my cursed bloodline, from the hunger clawing inside. But the first time I saw her, I stopped. Eve was light, and I was never meant to hold it.

Then they came for her. For us. And I remembered exactly what I was born to become.

My name is Evelyn Torreblanca. My eleventh birthday was supposed to pass in silence.

I didn't know monsters could have hearts-or that mine would beat for one. The day Val walked into my life, the black rose bloomed. The blood awakened.

Now the Order wants control. His uncle wants war. And the darkness inside both of us is rising.
