The Darkest Crown by Amy Atley

“No matter how far you run, no matter where you hide, I will always find you.”

I should never have run. I was foolish to think I could escape the chains that bound me. Forced to stand trial once more, I quickly realized the Strategoi were the least of my worries. Because this time I captured the interest of a different vampire. One who was far deadlier than Adam or Julian.
He was Marius, the vampire king. The original, from which all others were created. And he was certifiably insane. I knew I could never escape him. My only hope of surviving was to win his favor, but did I have the courage to play along with his mad delusions? And what would happen if he saw through my lies?
