Once upon a time, a series of portals opened on Earth, allowing magic to spill into the human world.

Houses were created. Supernaturals were assigned. And a new balance was formed.

All new arrivals are required to join a House.

But this is the tale of a goddess who refused and the House King who brought her to heel.

Nyx.

Goddess of Night.

My newest obsession.

The daring female killed one of my men.

Which made it my job as the Gold and Garnet House King to make her pay.

Oh, there were so many things I wanted to do with that disobedient little mouth of hers. But she was much stronger than she led anyone to believe.

Now I'm left with a craving I can't quite sate.

Because one bite wasn't enough.

You may be the Goddess of Night, but I'm still your king.

You will kneel.

You will beg.

And most importantly, you will bleed.

Welcome to the House of Gold and Garnet, where power defines the monarchy and blood is a preferred currency.

Proceed at your own risk.
