The Forgotten: The Realms of Darkness

 Taken by the vampire queen, I was sent to her dungeon with one choice left: life or death. I chose death, but fate had other plans for me.

The Forgotten:

The Realms of Darkness

by KA Stefana

Genre: Dark Fantasy Romance



My name is Luther Van Leer, and I'm a prisoner in the vampire queen's castle. She'll let me out if I'm willing to meet her demands, but I will refuse until she puts a stake through my heart. I'll not let her turn me into a monster. At least, that was my plan. With a turning kiss, I was turned into a monster, banished, beaten, and betrayed. Now, my master expects that I will fall in love with her and play nice. If my cold-dark heart ever finds her, revenge will be mine!

Step into the dark and feudal world of the four kingdoms. The prophecy hangs over the land, turning kings and queens against each other. When Amelia turns Luther, she unknowingly drags him into her world. Instead of gaining a lover, she gains another enemy. Will Luther forgive her ultimate betrayal and help her survive, or will he abandon her? It would be his right.

From the darkness of the salt mines, the horrors of the bird cages, the temptations of the Forbidden Lake, and dragon tattoos, Luther and Amelia will be in a race against time to save their kingdom.

Excerpts 

Chapter 1 No Escape

Your fate was at the mercy of the queen’s whims. If you satiated her desires between the sheets, she might let you live to see another year around in the sun in servitude to her. Otherwise, the jailer would drag whatever was left of you into the dungeons for your remains to decay and fade away.  (Luther)

The Silver Mask

I was a warrior, not a lover. Oh, I loved it, but I didn’t play with my victims. (Amelia)

Shackles

Any remnants of tenderness for Amelia were long gone, leaving nothing but hatred for my master. Step by step, mile after mile, night overnight, and I knew that if I ever escaped and found her, I would destroy her. There was no love for her left in my cold, dark vampire heart. Nothing! Luther

Tales in the Darkness

Amelia tried to take my hand, but I brushed her away. I still didn't want anything to do with her, and she needed to know that there would be boundaries to this relationship. Boundaries that I would control. Master or not, I wasn't letting her take advantage of me again.  (Luther)

Fangs are for biting.

Listening as she groaned, she teased me back, "Your only two choices were death or my mother. You chose death, and I chose you." For the first time in forever, I heard her giggle, and I longed for simpler times. Days when we could safely be in each other's arms without worrying that our heads could be chopped off in the throes of passion. Such times were not conducive to intimacy. (Luther)

About the Author


Welcome Readers! Followers and Members of the Shadowverse. I am so excited that you are taking this journey with me. I love to weave tales of darkness and light, pushing my characters to the end of themselves. How will they react? Some may fall into evil, spiraling into a never-ending vortex of darkness. Others may walk the line between the realms of darkness and light. Only a few will rise above the chaos. They are the defenders and heroes in the world of shadows, but they, too, wrestle with the shadows surrounding them, trying to lure them down dark alleyways and into the back rooms of iniquity. 

My friends always ask me where my tales come from. I guess it comes from years of reading great tales from the likes of Tolkien, Lewis, and so many others. In reality, I don't have a clue. The stories somehow flow from the unruly characters that beg to be written yet refuse to follow their storylines. Just the way I like it!

Past the shadows, you will find a twist of romance between kings and outcasts, enemies to lovers, and everything in between.

As for me, I started my writing journey during quarantine and haven't stopped writing since. I am thankful for the writing community and their support and for my family and friends. Most of all, I am blessed to have a husband who supports all of my late-night shenanigans, wrestling with characters and pounding away at the keyboard until the wee hours of the morning.

~ A million hugs! Thanks for joining the Shadowverse.
