Shadows of the Vigil — Book Two of the The Bloodline Chronicles

After the catastrophic events of Eclipse of Destiny, Elena Petrova is desperate for silence, but the dead refuse to let her rest. The eclipse may have passed, yet its shadow still bleeds across Transylvania—widening cracks between the living and the forgotten.

When a series of spectral disturbances ripple through Brașov, Elena discovers that the fall of the Strigoi priesthood has awakened something older and far more patient. A surviving priestess, bound to a fractured prophecy, believes Elena carries the bloodline needed to resurrect a long-buried empire. And she intends to claim it—no matter the cost.

Drawn into a world of corrupted mirrors, ash-born spirits, and ancient vows that refuse to die, Elena must confront powers that twist memory itself. Every step pulls her deeper into a legacy she never wanted, and every answer carries a price measured in blood, breath, or sanity.

But a new relic—one whispered about only in forbidden Petrova texts—may shift the balance.
A mirror forged to hold a soul.
A heart that never stops watching.

As enemies gather and old curses claw their way back to life, Elena faces a devastating truth: she cannot outrun destiny, only choose which version of it will bury her.

Dark, atmospheric, and steeped in Eastern European folklore, Shadows of the Vigil continues the haunting saga of power, inheritance, and the thin, perilous line between the living and the dead.
