She swore vengeance for her sister's murder.

The gods demand a bloodier price.

When Vengeance Bleeds Royal is a slow-burn, heroine-centered dark fantasy romance perfect for readers who enjoy the mythic danger of Carissa Broadbent and the layered intrigue of Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Lumira Kyrvayne has one goal: avenge her sister. But vengeance is never as simple as a blade. Every step toward the truth pulls her deeper into ancient lore, forbidden magic, and a land built on secrets. And crossing her path-far too often-is a hooded guard whose motives are unreadable and whose presence is impossible to ignore.

This is a story of slow, deliberate unraveling: of buried histories, shifting alliances, and a dangerous attraction that builds quietly between enemies who should want each other dead.

Readers will find:

- A morally gray heroine determined to carve her own path

- An enigmatic, hooded antihero whose secrets unfold over time

- Deep, evolving worldbuilding tied to gods, bloodlines, and relics

- Political tension, forbidden magic, and layered mythos

- A slow-burn romance threaded with danger, restraint, and obsession
