She can drain the life from her enemies with a single touch. Now the hunger wants more than blood.

Vampire detective Hope Matthews never asked to become a weapon. But Descendants are vanishing across the city, her sire is locked in a cage of his own making, and the man she loves has been turned into someone else's leash. The power clawing awake inside her may be the only thing that can save them all?if it doesn't devour her first.

A relic called the Heartstone is twisting hunger into obedience, bending the people Hope loves to a rival's will. To stop it, she must master a craving that grows with every life she touches, lead a rebellion that brands her an outlaw under Raven law, and decide who she can trust when three men?her anchor, her wound, and her king in chains?have each loved her, and each hurt her.

Love given under compulsion counts for nothing. Love proven in freedom is worth outlawing yourself for.

Scarlet Craved is the fourth book in The Raven Vampire Series?a slow-burn, why-choose paranormal romance of found family, forbidden bonds, deadly academy intrigue, and a heroine who refuses to become harmless. Intended for readers 18+.
