The Phoenix Prince (Royal Blood Book 1)

Vampires have ravaged the known world throughout history. Several times, heroic men have been called upon to end their tyranny.

Now, another is about to come to power. This time, however, the vampire is not the villain.

Prince Keiran Sipesh wasn't raised enjoying the perks of royalty. His father saw him as nothing more than insurance his lineage would continue to rule Tordania. Born and immediately infected with vampirism, Keiran was passed off to the servants to be raised.

Now, with his father dead, Keiran is forced out of the shadows to claim his birthright. However, Grand Councillor Peirte Methaius isn't about to let another vampire rule a nation, especially when he can take the crown for his own. The demon-summoning madman will go to any length to kill the only heir to the throne.

Despite being a vampire, Keiran is in failing health. Surviving the trials he must endure to become the next king will be challenging enough, but if Peirte has his way, the tests will be assuredly fatal.
