Queen's Crusade

Their Vampire Queen Returns, Book 1

Shara Isador’s back for justice… and Blood.

Her first match with the queen of Rome might have temporarily ended in a draw, but she has plenty of other battles brewing. Taking her seat at the Triskeles Triune brings immense new power to House Isador.

And for a vampire queen, with great power comes great hunger.

To sustain and feed her new power, she needs more Blood. Desperately. Before the Dauphine can attack her nest again.

She already turned Shara’s dead mother into a walking zombie to send a nasty message. Now it’s her turn to send a message to the Dauphine—and anyone who messes with her family. In the brutal game of queens, Shara plays for love.

What this queen takes, she loves, and what she loves, she keeps for all time.

Don’t mess with her loved ones. Because she will protect them. No matter the cost.

The Dauphine can’t escape this time.

House Isador rides to war, and the last Templar knight carries Shara Isador on the greatest crusade this world has ever known.

Everything

I love this series! I’ve been searching everywhere for this ! The love she has for her blood is incredible!

A great new Shara comeback!!!

As a Loyal "HOUSE ISADORE" follower, I've probably read and listened to Queen Joely's "Their Vampire Queen" series a ridiculous & honestly countless number of times. It's been a comfort read/listen that when I get frustrated... like trying to find a new (to me,) but Completed Series to read, but I've read Sooo many on KU it's kinda sad LOL, or I just need a Quality & Fantastic, SPICY, RH that also has a Unique and Fascinating Plot... well the HOUSE ISADORE UNIVERSE never fails. I still find new things I missed even after 20+ rereads and this book Both answers a lot of questions and adds even more. I just wish there were MORE to Shara's Return series and that the Darkness and Carmen's series were finished... because they intertwine so very creatively!!! I'm also holding my breath for the "Princess of Unicorns" and her 'generation' (Hacate's girl Belladonna anyone lol?) to really get things CHAOTIC!!!
My point is... start with Their Vampire Queen series so you're not totally lost and really get the most from the story, and just keep it going until you finish Shara's Return. Read the Spinoff Series where and when appropriate, again so you get the most out of Queen Joely's creative and intriguing plot.
When I Listen... I start with Queen takes Knight and make a continued play list for non-stop Spicy Romantic Vampire Retribution and Love. ENJOY

Excited for more of Shara and her Blood!

So glad to see Shara back in action and growing in herself and her power. I love the depth characters and how the plot has developed around the mysteries of the Triune. I almost gave this a 4 instead of a five because of one HUGE petpeve. There was frequent use by members of Shara's Blood of the 'new/young person' use of the word Bet. I found this to be ridiculously distracting from the characters, their age, experience, and relationships. None of her Blood interact with the generation that uses that phrase, or any humans outside of Shara's circle, so this use doesn't stay consistent with their world. Other than that language use, I loved the story and look forward to riding onward with Shara. Long Live House Isador❤️❤️

Love this series

I love this series so much. The woman narrator did a fantastic job, though for me, the male fell flat. The story is amazing. I look forward to the next part of Shara's story

Awesome

This was a great continuation of the series. More growth in both lore,politics and storytelling. Cannot wait for the next one.
