The Book of Zara Series by Joseph Hunt
Dark Romance | Paranormal Fantasy | Supernatural Suspense
When love is blood-bound, desire becomes deadly.
In a world where vampires rule from the shadows and ancient secrets shape every heartbeat, Zara never expected to fall for one of them. But then came Xerxes—a thousand-year-old vampire burdened by a past soaked in regret and rage. Together, they ignite a love that defies fate, bloodlines, and prophecy.
As their bond deepens, they’re pulled into a web of supernatural politics, betrayal, and a clan war that threatens to consume them. Allies like the stoic werewolf Moses and the mischievous fae Trinket stand by their side, but nothing can prepare them for what’s coming.
From heart-pounding battles to steamy encounters, from ghosted memories to soul-shattering truths, Zara and Xerxes must confront not just their enemies—but the darkness within themselves.
And when the Bloodless Clan rises…
When the prophetic child is revealed…
When the final pact is forged in ash and flame…
Will love survive the apocalypse? Or will it burn with the rest of the world?
📘 Book One:
Back-of-Book Summary:
Zara never believed in vampires—until one saved her life. Thrust into a world she can barely comprehend, she finds herself drawn to Xerxes, a mysterious immortal whose power is only matched by the weight of his secrets. But Xerxes isn’t just another vampire—he’s something older, darker, and more dangerous than she ever imagined.
As their forbidden bond deepens, Zara becomes a target for creatures that should not exist and truths that were never meant to surface. Caught between loyalty, lust, and legacy, she must choose: embrace a love that could destroy her… or walk away from the only soul who’s ever truly seen her.
Some desires were never meant to survive the night.
