In the gilded heights of the elven citadel, purity is power. The high-born bask in eternal beauty, sustained by the Gift of vampirism, while the half-bloods serve, bleed, and die to uphold their perfection.

Vaelen was meant to rise above them all, chosen to receive the Gift, destined to join the ranks of the immortal elite. But one cursed bite shattered everything, twisting his ascension into ruin and casting him down among the very people he once despised.

Now hunted by his own kind and haunted by what he’s become, Vaelen is forced to choose between vengeance and survival. As rebellion brews in the shadows, he must decide whether to reclaim the power that destroyed him or burn the world that made him.

Born of Blood and Ruin is a dark fantasy tale of power, corruption, and the cost of defiance, where even salvation comes at a price, dressed in blood.
