The Crimson Pact Some pacts are written in blood-and some refuse to be broken. In the rain-soaked streets of the Crimson City, where gothic spires loom like forgotten gods and every shadow hides a secret, Moni walks the thin line between predator and protector. Born of blood and mystery, she's a fledgling vampire still haunted by the circumstances of her turning-and by a sire who left her more questions than answers. By night, Moni hunts through the city's hidden underworld, enforcing an uneasy balance among supernatural factions. But when a forbidden ritual threatens to tear apart the fabric of their world, Moni is thrust into a conspiracy that runs deeper than even the oldest bloodlines. Drawn to the cryptic Obsidian Bazaar and its enigmatic Archivist, she unearths a fragment of lost lore that might just reshape everything she's been taught to obey. As Moni's thirst for truth grows stronger than her thirst for blood, she must decide: will she uphold the ancient laws that bind her-or ignite the rebellion that could free her? A darkly atmospheric urban fantasy filled with political intrigue, arcane secrets, and a fierce heroine torn between survival and justice, The Crimson Pact is the first installment in a richly imagined supernatural saga.
