The Crownless King

The South USA Series, Book 1

Survival of the vampires was his duty, and as king, Levi ruled with an iron fist.

In his thirst for power, he made one impulsive decision, and now madness was dogging his every step. If asked what he would do to keep the Bayi vampires on top, the answer would be easy… anything.

Including kidnapping a witch who brought peace to the beast inside of him.

Amaya controlled chaos, the very essence of magic, and yet within her it reigned. She had the weight of caring for her ill mother on her shoulders and was one careless step from complete ruin. If asked what she would do to keep the two of them safe, the answer would be easy… anything.

Including giving herself to the king of vampires.

Levi thought overcoming his witch's objections would be his biggest hurdle. But in the shadows, others move against him, using their power to not only keep him and Amaya apart but also topple the Bayi. Little did his enemies know that striking at the king would bring the rise of a queen.

Enchanting world

I first read this book on kindle and couldn’t wait to listen when the audiobook was available. I love this story of Levi and Amaya. Diving into this world of vampires and other paranormals was engaging. This is a true enemies to lovers, forced proximity book. I highly recommend it, and I can’t wait for more from this world.
