Rhythm of Blood (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798998990458)

King. A Knight. A Queen. A Pawn.

Katie was never meant to be part of this world-human, unprotected, more involved than anyone realizes. In Ville de Sang, innocence is a weakness, and proximity to power makes her a target. As tensions rise between factions, whispers of rebellion turn into something much more deadly.

At the center of it all stands Jack.

Loyal to the crown, he was forged into a weapon-a very dangerous one, even when he forgets to act like it. A knight who has never questioned the orders he's been given, he's never wanted anything for himself...until her. What began as protection turns into something far more complicated. Something consuming, addictive, and dangerously easy to lose himself in.

Because Jack doesn't just want Katie safe, he wants to keep her. And in a court where a new enemy rises every day, lines blur and loyalties shift. Which side is she on? And when it comes down to it, will Jack choose right-or simply choose her? With war brewing and enemies closing in from every side-human and vampire alike-Jack is forced into an impossible choice: protect the kingdom he's sworn to...or the woman who could unravel it.

Because in war, no one walks away untouched.

And pawns are the first to bleed.
