Welcome to the Shadow Realm-where monsters rule, magic is currency, and curvy women are deeply desired. (This is a plus-length novel, over 100K words long)

Lucian

I am Lucian Draxos-Vampire Don of the Shadow Realm. Ruthless. Immortal...and Cursed.

My father doomed our bloodline by stealing a forbidden artifact, and now the Blood Lust is close to overwhelming me. There is only one cure left: the blood of a Curvy Queen-a woman whose magic is so potent it's been outlawed for centuries.

Julia was never meant to exist in my world. She is human...vulnerable. Not to mention dangerous to the fragile balance holding the Shadow Realm together.

But I do what I must-I have her taken-kidnapped from the Human world and brought to my home, The Crimson Spires.

She calls me a monster. She calls me her enemy. She tells me she's not my personal blood bank.

I have to admit-I'm intrigued by her fire. She draws me like no other woman ever has.

The most dangerous truth of all?

I don't just want her blood. I want her.

Julia

One minute I'm living my normal, boring human life as a mid-level accountant with a horrible boss. The next, I'm kidnapped and dragged into a nightmare realm dominated by monsters who are also Mafia Dons, ruling a shadowy kingdom.

The worst of them all is Lucian-he's cold, beautiful, and terrifying.

He's also a Vampire.

He says I'm a Curvy Queen. He tells me that because of my curves, my body holds forbidden magic...says my blood can cure his curse.

Too bad for him-I'm not anyone's magical blood bank.

I don't trust him. I don't want him. And I definitely don't belong in the Shadow Realm.

But the longer I'm trapped in his world, the more I realize something far more dangerous than his curse is at work.

Because the Vampire Don who stole me...might be the only one who can keep me alive.

And I'm not sure whether I want to escape him... or claim my throne beside him as His Curvy Queen of Blood.

Author's Note: An introduction to the Shadow Realm

Divided into six territories and ruled by supernatural Mafia Dons-Vampires, Fae, Shifters, Dragons, Necromancers, and Demons-the Shadow Realm runs on blood, bargains, and brutality.

Curvy women are the rarest prize of all. Their abundant flesh carries powerful magic, making them so valuable that they've been outlawed-because whenever a Curvy Queen appears, wars erupt.

Each book in the Shadow Syndicate series follows a different Don...and the curvy woman dangerous enough to claim her throne.
