He's a warrior forged by vengeance. She's a witch consumed by it. Together, they may save the world—or destroy each other.

To stop a rising evil threatening both the human world and Atlantis, Prince Ven, the King's Vengeance, is sent to retrieve a legendary ruby of immense power. Battle-hardened and fearless, Ven is more comfortable wielding a sword than forging alliances. But fate has a twisted sense of humor—because his new partner is a beautiful, infuriating witch who tests his control like no enemy ever has.

Erin is driven by one thing: revenge. After her family was slaughtered by vampires, she vowed never to trust again—especially not a sexy, arrogant Atlantean who sees diplomacy as an inconvenience and desire as a weapon.

But when ancient magic ignites between them, passion becomes impossible to resist. As dark forces close in and betrayal strikes from all sides, Ven and Erin must decide whether love is their greatest strength... or the beginning of their undoing.

Ancient magic. Deadly enemies. Forbidden desire ... Let the awakening begin.
