Introduction
“Shut up and kiss me,” she responds.
He needn’t be told twice. In a beat, Lorcan scoops her up in a motion too fast for the human eye to see. Hooking her legs around his waist, he carries her toward the bed while their lips wage war. He is already incredibly hard for her, his trousers becoming excruciatingly uncomfortable by the second as his patience hangs by a thread.
“This…” he says and tugs at the back of her dress, “…needs to come off.”
“Take it off,” Elle just about orders him, as if she is the queen and he the servant.
He growls at the command – not a threatening sound that dares her to order him around again, but rather a lusty sound as the authoritative tone in her voice makes his loins pulse.
******************
Every hundred years, a new vampire king is crowned and hosts a kingdom-wide ball where he is to choose a mortal woman to sire an heir. It is enforced on each noble family to send one of their daughters to attend the ball.
After her father’s death, Elle became a maid to her cruel stepmother and stepsisters. But when word of the upcoming ball reaches the ears of the Clandestine family, Lady Clandestine forms a plan that will keep her daughters out of the clutches of the vampire king: send Elle in their place, disguised as a noble.
For what are the chances that the vampire king will choose her? And if he does, he will never know she is but a common maid. However, if he finds out…the punishment will be deadly.

Chapter 1
*If you think you know the story of Cinderella of how she attended the ball and captured the attention of the prince… think again.
There were no fairy godmothers, no pumpkin carriages, and no glass slippers.
There was only blood.*
A very long time ago, humans were at war with supernatural forces.
To the north, vampires won the war against men through persecution and bloodshed. Their enhanced, half-living anatomies made them impenetrable to weapons of any kind, and they outlived their enemies by decades.
When the mortal king succumbed to the living dead, a vampire claimed the throne and was crowned. Those who refused to bow before him were fed to his armies or suffered the consequences of their defiance by his own hand.
Yet half-living, vampires can’t populate the world by means of humans, and the king had to find a way of siring an heir.
And so, the Centurial Ball was announced.
Every hundred years, when a new vampire king is crowned, a kingdom-wide ball is held where he is to choose a mortal woman to sire an heir. A new law was raised: Every noble human family is to send one of their daughters to attend the ball or suffer the consequences.
Only one daughter was required.
One of nobility and status.
So, for years, this cycle repeated itself, thus ensuring the legacy of each newly crowned vampire king.

I’m confused on chapter 60 with dove because she isn’t mentioned anywhere and it says Emry is the youngest and it’s a he then it mentions Dove but then goes on to say what each will do in regards to taking over or not and completely dismissed mentioning Emry that time? does Emry exist?

Well very interesting so far. I wonder where this is going to go? Can’t wait to continue reading this. This is a very nice change to the common books that we have access to. Well done I am usually not into fairy tale books but this is a new exciting change. I wonder if this is a mate kinda thing? Why he picked her smell over the first 70ish he smelt? I will have to see what comes next. Thank You 🙏 for sharing your excellent imagination with us in the form of the excellently written book.
