The Blood Marriage: A Forced Marriage to a Vampire Prince - Enemies to Lovers, Blood Curse, MM Romance (The Blood Marriage Series, #1)

In a kingdom where faith is bound by blood, love becomes the most dangerous sin. When Prince Adrien Renvar is forced to seal peace through a blood marriage with Cael of the Northern Dominion, a half-vampire marked by an ancient curse, neither man expects the vow to awaken the past that both empires tried to erase. The ceremony is meant to end centuries of war between humans and the fallen race of vampires. But the moment Adrien tastes Cael‘s blood, the vow ignites something forbidden-an echo older than either of them. Bound by a sacred curse that demands one must drink the other‘s blood to survive, their union becomes a test of mercy, faith, and impossible tenderness. Within the marble halls of the Radiant Church, blood is worshiped as proof of divine light. To love a creature of shadow is to defy the law of heaven. Yet as Adrien learns the truth about the church‘s lies-and the origin of the curse itself-his loyalty begins to fracture. The one he was told to fear becomes the only one who can save him. Cael, once a soldier who defied the throne, hides the hunger that could destroy them both. Every drop of blood he takes to live threatens to turn him into the monster he once fought. To resist is agony. To surrender is salvation. When the kingdom‘s priests declare their marriage unholy, Adrien must choose between his crown and his heart, between the light that blinds and the darkness that remembers. The Blood Marriage weaves gothic romance and tragic devotion into a world of sacred betrayal- where every vow is written in blood, and love itself becomes the last form of faith. Haunting, romantic, and beautifully restrained, this first book in The Blood Marriage Series begins the saga of two souls bound by destiny: a prince raised in light, and a cursed warrior born in shadow. Their love is not meant to survive. Yet in every drop of blood, it learns how. For fans of Castlevania, Anne Rice, and dark M/M fantasy-The Blood Marriage is a tale of devotion written in blood.
