Forever Fallen

In the fog-shrouded streets of 1880s London, Ava Valois is the last of her bloodline-a legendary family of vampire hunters whose silver blades have kept the darkness at bay for centuries. But when she targets the enigmatic Lord Elijah Blackthorne, she discovers that some monsters are far more dangerous than she ever imagined.
Elijah is no ordinary vampire. Ancient, powerful, and devastatingly beautiful, he rules London's supernatural underworld with an iron will. Yet when he meets Ava, he reveals a shocking truth: her family's blood is bound to his immortality by an ancient covenant forged in desperation and sealed in blood.
For over five hundred years, the Valois have been bound to serve the Blackthorne vampires, their very existence ensuring Elijah's survival. But Ava refuses to be anyone's sacrifice-even as she finds herself drawn to the tortured soul behind Elijah's predatory facade.
When Lucien Blackthorne, Elijah's elder brother and the covenant's original architect, returns to claim his "property," Ava must choose between the safety of submission and the deadly gamble of defiance. As ancient magic wars with forbidden love, she uncovers the covenant's darkest secret: what began as mutual protection has been corrupted into centuries of enslavement.
Now Ava must master powers she never knew she possessed, confront the vampire lord who sees her as nothing more than a tool, and decide whether to destroy the covenant entirely-or transform it into something that could save them all.
In a world where love is the greatest weapon and blood is the ultimate price, some bonds can only be broken by death... or reforged by choice.
Forever Fallen is a dark Gothic romance that explores the thin line between protection and possession, duty and desire, in a London where the greatest monsters might just be the ones we create ourselves.
