Mistress of Lies, The Age of Blood, Book 1 BY K. M. Enright

In this dark romantic fantasy debut, The Blood Weaver thrusts readers into a world of treachery, power, and dangerous allure within the court of a vampire king. Shan LeClaire, a formidable and ruthless Blood Worker, has spent her life mastering blood magic and amassing influence. After assassinating her disgraced father to protect her brother and seize control of her family, Shan’s quest for revenge begins in earnest.

Samuel Hutchinson, a bastard with an unwelcome magical gift, is drawn into this perilous world when he encounters the first victim of a magical serial killer. Tasked by the Eternal King himself, Samuel must navigate the treacherous landscape of vampire politics and unravel the mystery behind the gruesome murders.

As Samuel, Shan, and the enigmatic Royal Blood Worker Isaac delve deeper into the investigation, their relationships grow increasingly complex. Shan’s treacherous schemes and her darkly seductive allure entwine Samuel in a dangerous game of desire and deceit. Faced with the allure of Shan’s power and the rising threat to their nation, Samuel must grapple with his own moral compass and decide if protecting the realm is worth the sacrifice of his soul.

With echoes of From Blood and Ash and Kingdom of the Wicked, The Blood Weaver offers a decadent, bloodthirsty adventure where every choice could mean life or death, and loyalty is a double-edged sword.
