Between the Thorns: A Fated Vampire Romance | Dark Academy, Enemies-to-Lovers,
She came to kill the vampire prince. Destiny bound her to him instead.
Welcome to the Obsidian Empire—where vampires rule, humans bleed, and one forbidden bond will change the fate of a kingdom.
Lyra Nightshade is the first human ever admitted to Obsidian Academy, the empire’s most elite school for vampiric royalty. But she’s no scholar—she’s an assassin raised for one
Infiltrate the academy and kill Prince Draven Blackthorne.
Until a midnight encounter ignites a supernatural bond neither can control. His touch awakens ancient witch magic buried in her blood, his power calls to something she didn’t know she had—and the cruel mission she lived for suddenly becomes impossible.
