☠️Lilith has always been familiar with death. She is surrounded by it, and destined to lead a short life herself. 🔬🧪Desperate to cure a plague in her town before she runs out of time, she seeks the aid of a vampire. It was rumored that Lord Vale had lived outside of Adcova for nearly 200 years, but no one knew for sure of course. Folks steered clear of his neck of the woods if they knew what was good for them. But 🐭Lilith approaches 🦁 Vale, offering him 6 🌹 roses in exchange for several vials of his 🩸 blood - to be exchanged over 6 months.  

“I promise you,” I said, “its beauty is by far the least interesting thing about it.”

😍 Since I already read The Ashes of the Star Cursed King, I knew how this novella would end, but I loved learning more about Lilith and Vale’s love story. I can’t wait for Broadbent to release more books in this series 🤩
