The Dangerous Ones BY Lauren Blackwood

In The Thrilling Romantasy from New York Times Bestselling Author Lauren Blackwood, magic, vampires, and star-crossed love come together in a gripping tale of revenge and redemption. The protagonist, Jerusalem, is a Saint, gifted with demigod-like abilities that make her a formidable force. Her singular goal is to avenge her family, who were enslaved and murdered by a vampire, a loss that has fueled her deep-seated hatred for these creatures.

Jerusalem's quest for vengeance leads her to team up with Alexei, a handsome and arrogant Ancient Vampire who fights for the Union during the Civil War. Despite her initial distrust and animosity toward vampires, Jerusalem finds herself unable to deny Alexei's dedication to their cause and his consistent loyalty to her. Over a year of fighting side by side against the Confederate Army and the vampires who profited from slavery, Jerusalem's views begin to shift, seeing Alexei as an ally rather than an enemy.

Their partnership is more than a tactical alliance; it's a shared mission to change the course of the war, striving to bring freedom and equality to Black people. For Jerusalem, this fight is intensely personal—it's a chance to achieve her revenge while also contributing to a greater good. As she and Alexei grow closer, they risk not only their lives but also their hearts, navigating the dangerous waters of their evolving relationship and the external threats that seek to destroy them.

Their journey is a thrilling blend of action, emotion, and the supernatural, with Jerusalem determined to confront the vampire responsible for her family's demise, seeking justice and perhaps something more profound than revenge.
