Mistress of Lies, The Age of Blood, Book 1 By K. M. Enright

In The Crimson Court, a dark and seductive fantasy debut, readers are thrust into a world where power, politics, and murder collide in the opulent yet perilous court of the vampire king. Shan LeClaire, a formidable and ruthless heroine, has spent her life honing her blood magic and manipulating her way to the top. Her recent actions—assassinating her own father and seizing control of her family—are merely the beginning of her quest for revenge and dominance.

Samuel Hutchinson, an outsider with a rare and troubling gift, finds himself reluctantly drawn into this dangerous realm. When he discovers the first victim of a magical serial killer, Samuel is thrust into the heart of the vampire court’s intrigue. Assigned by the Eternal King to unravel the mystery of the killer, Samuel teams up with Shan and the enigmatic Royal Blood Worker Isaac.

As they navigate a world rife with betrayal and dark desires, Samuel becomes entangled in Shan’s intricate plans. Her motivations are as elusive as they are deadly, and her allure proves both irresistible and perilous. Amidst the decadent backdrop of the vampire court, Samuel must confront the possibility that aligning with Shan and her quest for vengeance might cost him more than he anticipated—potentially even his very soul.

Fans of From Blood and Ash and Kingdom of the Wicked will be captivated by this thrilling debut, which promises a blend of romance, intrigue, and supernatural drama in a world where trust is scarce and danger is omnipresent.
