Klappentext

Two vicious kings. One reluctant bride. Their magic should have destroyed me.Instead, it made them mine. When my sister's name is called for the vampires' harvest, I step forward. It's a death sentence, but she has a family, a future. All I have is a dusty bookshop, an ailing body, and a fate that always ends in fangs. As the only volunteer, I'm chosen as the newest Mortal Bride-a living sacrifice to their two wicked kings. The Conqueror, ruthless and imposing, his icy demeanor concealing his fiery intensity. The Butcher, charming and capricious, his divine beauty disguising his cruel impulses. The kings intend to drain my lifeforce to fuel the spell securing their reign. But when the ceremony goes awry, we're all ensnared in an overwhelming bond... one not even death can break. The Conqueror and the Butcher now hunger for more than my blood. They want all of me, forever. I should resist them. I should hate them. They are the monsters who devour my people. But no matter how brutal their hearts, I need them just as fiercely. Bride of Brutal Hearts is a dark fantasy villain romance and the first book in the Bloodborne Court series. It features a slow burn romance between two morally black vampires and their bookworm bride. This book contains dark elements, graphic violence, and themes some may find disturbing. Readers can find more information in the Author's Note and a detailed list on the author's website. Please note that Bride of Brutal Hearts is the first book in a planned quartet and some storylines will remain unresolved until the finale. While the series will end with a happily-ever-after, there will be plenty of trauma and death beforehand.
