The Dawning

A new era is dawning in the supernatural world.


War looms on the horizon, and I’m trapped between enemy lines. On one side stands my ruthless grandmother, Harriet Aberdeen. She’ll walk through fire to claim what she wants—me. On the other is Sam Mason, the deadly Vampire Navy SEAL who owns my heart. He’ll stop at nothing to save the woman he loves—me.


But neither of them holds the power.


That choice belongs to me—until fate intervenes.


Now I stand at a crossroads. If I run, I risk our unborn child. If I fight, the outcome may be just as deadly. With no escape in sight, I make the only choice left—surrender myself and pray my grandmother shows mercy.


Yet she isn’t the true threat.


My sister Rianne has embraced a twisted vision of genetic engineering, convinced our humanity must be sacrificed for something stronger, darker. Over my dead body.


When fate turns cruel once more and an explosive confrontation leaves Rianne with the upper hand, I realize the truth: no one is coming to save me.


Time is running out. I can’t wait for Sam to rescue me.


I have to save myself.


Because if I don’t, I won’t be the woman he fell in love with—I’ll become the monster who destroys everything in her path.
