The Eternal Blood Dawn (The Void’s Heir Book 3)

Devotion Born of Terror. A Kingdom Forged in Blood."Love can be broken. Fear can be overcome. But the two mixed together? Devotion born of terror? That is an unbreakable chain."The Crown is Heavy. The Parasite is Heavier.Nicole has reclaimed her homeland and sits atop the throne of the Blood Spire, but the true battle is raging inside her own skull. Coiled behind her eyes, the ancient entity Omegan is systematically poisoning her mind—rewriting her memories of the past and twisting her oldest allies into bitter enemies to ensure her hatred remains absolute. Trapped within the dark architecture of his mother's consciousness, Darion can only watch in silent horror as the woman who once loved him slips irretrievably into tyranny.A Crimson Threat from WithinWhen a botched assassination attempt breaches her securely sealed bedchambers, the illusion of total control shatters.
