About This Book
In "We Become Darkness," Princess Thalia of Agripa is thrust into a perilous alliance when her mother arranges her marriage to a Vampyr prince to secure a dwindling ore supply vital to their kingdom. This decision is further complicated by the presence of Cassius, Thalia's former lover who betrayed her and their realm by embracing Vampyrism. Now serving as the prince's Hand, Cassius is assigned the task of escorting Thalia to the Vampyr kingdom, reigniting the complex emotions between them.
As Thalia navigates the treacherous Vampyr court, she harbors a secret plan to dismantle the Vampyr kingdom from within by assassinating the prince. The court is rife with danger and secrets, and Cassius is always watching. When a monstrous new threat emerges, Thalia realizes the safety and security of their world is far more fragile than she ever believed. Caught between duty and desire, Thalia must grapple with her feelings for Cassius and decide if she will fulfill her duty to the human crown or embrace the darkness within herself to protect both realms.
