A Vampire's Vow
A worldwide catastrophe looms…
… and the fate of humanity hinges on a vampire’s vow.
For millennia, vampires have lived and warred in the belly of the earth, surfacing in secret to feed on humans.
Rune’s family has ruled the vampires for thousands of years, and one day, Rune will ascend to the throne. But now that he is eighteen, he must take a vow of obedience to his father, the king, at a ritual ceremony. It’s a vow that plagues him with doubt, because once it’s made, he’ll be forever bound to his father’s bloodthirsty destiny.
As the ceremony—and an unthinkable upheaval—draws near, Rune struggles with his decision. He wants to do what’s best for his people, but some instinct is holding him back, a voice in his head and heart calling him to the surface…

I found this story very confusing. Very little context and much uncertainty. I'm going to continue with book 1 to see if my confusion clears up.
This prequel isn't a romance, that could see. It does give some background to the world, but it feels incomplete.

I read this book. But I will be honest. I did not understand it. I get Rune’s family is royalty in the vampire world. But what happens to the surface to cause the destruction? This is very incomplete for me.

Feel like this story just suddenly ends with out any resolution. Hope we get some answers in the next book.

Thank you to the author and MM. I won this book from the MM 2023 celebration.
Rune is a vampire prince who lives underground world. Sometimes he travels topside but vampires and humans don’t live together.
Lately, there have been quakes that are effecting the underworld.
Additionally, Rune has a ceremony coming up where he is expected to devote himself to the vampire leader.
But he has doubts.
Also, he hears an invisible voice. His fated— he believes.
The big day comes and it literally comes tumbling down.
It was a quick read. I was invested with the characters.
We didn’t really get any answers. Who does the whispers belong too? Why is the world crumbing down?
It ends on cliffhangers.

It was intriguing, but then it just…ended.
What happened to cause the collapse?
What happened topside to the humans?
Did the king seek vengeance?
What did Rune do since he didn't make his vow?
What about his Fated Mate?
What's the repercussions of losing the bracelet?
What of Dawn's unborn child since it was foretold she would have only one (which is Jessa)?
So many unanswered questions. The blurb for the next book in the series appears to be set many years after the exodus in this book and focuses on a different character entirely. This cliffhanger apparently isn't resolved.
Very confusing and disappointing. I'm disinclined to read this series any further.
YMMV, of course.

I actually read book 1 A Vampire's Heart before this one so I knew how things were going to play out. But I did enjoy watching the events to unfold. We get to see some of the world below ground before access was completely cut off. I recommend reading them in order. I loved seeing Jessa as a youngling. The book end with them just coming to the surface and I would have liked to see the events leading up to the first book

Great start to the series. I read this one after the first one but I do think you'll enjoy it more if you read it in order. You get a front row seat into the Underground world of Vampires. How it all began, and what can come next. Rune is amazing and I wanted to know more about it instantly. So many great relationships and connections between characters that you can't choose just one to love. Can't wait for the next and I would definitely want to see more prequels like this about how Vampires lived before (Qudim for example would be a amazing prequel).
