Vow of Eternal Night – Lily Crozier

A gothic romantasy inspired by Beauty and the Beast, featuring a cursed vampire prince, a captive bride, and a dangerous bargain that could change both their fates forever.

Clara Wagner has always known monsters are real, and none are more feared than Prince Raleigh of Rostenburg. Ruthless and immortal, the vampire prince rules with terror, feeding on his people to satisfy his endless thirst for blood.

When Raleigh decides it is finally time to marry, Clara accidentally finds herself at the centre of his attention.

Abducted and forced into a betrothal against her will, Clara is given an impossible ultimatum: break Raleigh’s vampiric curse before the end of the year, or become his bride for eternity.

As Clara is drawn deeper into the cursed castle and closer to the mysterious prince himself, she begins to question whether monsters are always born... or made.

Perfect for readers who love gothic romance, cursed castles, enemies-to-lovers tension, vampires, slow-burn romance, and dark fairytale retellings.
