The Blood She Claimed

By Sophia-Rose Johnson

Desperate to claim her own destiny, the village sacrifice strikes a deal with the deadly vampire king.

Xenia is done scraping by. Rather than waste her life in hunger and obscurity, she chooses one year of power-one year as queen to the vampire king, sealed with blood and ending in death.

The king is no fairytale ruler. He is ancient, merciless, and starved for everything he cannot possess.

To survive, Xenia learns how to please him. How to manipulate him. How to twist her fate into something more than sacrifice. But when Kalina-the shoemaker's daughter and the only girl Xenia has ever loved-arrives to take her place, everything changes.

Xenia would die to protect her. Instead, she offers something far more dangerous: a deal that could rewrite the rules of the throne.

Love, power, and survival hang in the balance-but the vampire king always collects his due.

The Blood She Claimed is the start to a sapphic, why-choose gothic fantasy series perfect for fans of lush prose, dark romance, and feminine rage. Think House of Hunger and A Dowry of Blood.
