Godless Prince (Bundle ed. Vol.1-3)

"Some princes are born to rule. Others are born to kneel." Crown Prince Caelum Salutregui was raised to be humanity‘s perfect weapon—diplomatic, deadly, and utterly devoted to destroying the vampire empire. What he wasn‘t raised to know? He‘s vampire royalty himself. When the Ashan Federation offers him as a "peace tribute" to the very monsters he‘s sworn to hate, Caelum expects torture, death, maybe both. He doesn‘t expect General Velis Drayke—a sadist in uniform who sees right through his royal mask to the defiant soul beneath. But in the Crimson Dominion, submission is statecraft and pleasure is politics. ... Some choices reshape empires. Others destroy them. Delivered as blood tribute to the immortal vampire court, Caelum expects to serve and die quietly. He doesn‘t expect to catch the eye of Commander Velis—the empire‘s most ruthless enforcer—or to become the spark that ignites a vampire civil war. Prince Caelum carries secrets in his blood that could topple dynasties. When Queen Ysoria senses the power thrumming beneath his skin, she knows he‘s either salvation or destruction. Commander Velis sees something else entirely: a beautiful, defiant boy who challenges everything he believes about strength, loyalty, and the cold necessity of ruling through fear. Velis has spent centuries crushing rebellions and maintaining order between the vampire houses through calculated brutality. But this half-blood tribute makes him feel human—weak, protective, desperate. In their world, such feelings are a death sentence. As rival vampire houses circle like vultures and human spies infiltrate the court, Caelum and Velis navigate treacherous political intrigue while fighting an attraction that could damn them both. Neither expected to find an equal in their enemy. Neither planned to fall.
