Blood Rites

Lazarus Cross was a king betrayed, a hero forgotten, and a monster reborn. Now awakened after centuries, he wields blood magic strong enough to challenge gods—and seduction potent enough to bind monsters to his cause. From vampire queens and druidic warriors to ghosts, shifters, and demonic lovers, every conquest brings him closer to reclaiming his throne… and reshaping a world ruled by deceitful deities and beautiful nightmares. In a realm where love is dangerous, loyalty is earned in blood, and power corrupts as surely as desire consumes, Lazarus will forge his empire one battle at a time.

Lazarus Cross wakes after centuries of slumber, a single objective burning in his mind: revenge. His newfound thirst for blood is insatiable. When the woman who awakened him disappears before he can learn his identity or purpose, he must rely on his own strength and cunning to survive. In a world hungry for power and control, Lazarus must fight for his freedom and prove he is more than what he appears. With each bloody battle, he grows in strength, each victory unlocking new powers inside him.

Accompanied by a powerful vampiress, an innocently alluring healer, a fiercely honor-bound druidic warrior, and a sultry (if badly-behaved) doppelganger, Lazarus has his hands full as he makes deals with deities to grow his power for him and his harem. But his vampiress lover insists that his strength would be even greater if Lazarus was able to seduce some of the dark creatures that have beset his kingdom, turning their allegiance and pitting them against the demonic goddess Sanguiana.

In this dark, romantic fantasy, the battle for love, power, and the very fate of Crimson Keep will test Lazarus and his companions. Who will prove to be the strongest ally in their quest to defeat the malevolent new goddess, Sanguiana? Prepare for a breathtaking journey filled with mystery, passion, and peril, where alliances are forged and broken, and the line between love and bloodlust blurs.

In a world where gods vie for dominion and darkness looms on the horizon, Lazarus Cross, once a mere mortal, now wields power that rivals the heavens. With each step, he defies the very gods who once held sway over him.

Lazarus Cross, once a mortal champion, now strides the path of the divine, his powers burgeoning to rival those who once sought to control him. His journey leads him to the foreboding city of Ravenhold, nestled in the shadowy Blackspine Mountains, where Queen Desdemona reigns under the dark influence of the goddess Sanguiana. With the aid of his loyal harem, Lazarus must confront Valka, the traitorous goddess whose machinations have entwined his destiny with hers for centuries.
