Bound by Fate and Blood
The Arsinoëphorus Alliance Book 1
by Jenna O'Malley
Genre: Historical Fantasy, Paranormal Romance
Scottish
merchant-for-hire Christian Sinclair longs for solid ground after
traveling the Atlantic in the late 1660s under King Charles II’s
banner. When he returns to London six months late, his homecoming
plans did not include being captured, finding his family dead, or
hearing their estate burned to the ground.
Nephtyri,
the last of two full-blooded vampires, dreams of Christian’s plight
and offers to avenge his murdered family. In exchange, she reveals
his parents’ hidden ties to the secretive Hunters’ Guild—slayers
and slavers intent on destroying her people.
If
the Guild seizes Christian, they will either enslave him against
England or enthrone him as their Imperial Lord Hunter. His choices
will either save or shatter Nephtyri and the Arsinoëphorus Alliance
in the process.
Running a merchant fleet during the British Conquest with King Charles II on the throne taught Christian three rules in life: everything came at a price, balance dictated the price, and balance was not always just nor fair.

Bound by Oath and Heart
The Arsinoëphorus Alliance Book 2
Fractured
by betrayal at Sancta Terra, the Arsinoëphorus Alliance scatters.
The five, remaining Elders split Ian and Nephtyri, not realizing
their sunwalker has a new secret to hide. Though the couple can visit
one another in dreams, a life apart tests their bond early. A quest
to find Ian a weapon to match his powers binds him to his adikous
naiha and reveals not all mythical creatures are lost.
Rochelle
adapts to a lesser role as Shifei under the pressure of Bjorn’s
presence in his halls at Amaranth. With the help of Aryeh and other
Elders from afar, they plot to save the Alliance without their new
Uran Shifei-ra’s guidance. Suspicious of their actions, Nephtyri
heightens the search to free her lost grandmother from the Hunters’
captivity. Allegiances are stressed as the dead walk and the living
fight to thrive.
“How else can magic safely exist in this world under a sense of control? Humans abused it. The societies responsible for this damage are long dead and forgotten. There’s nothing to remind them how to treat what they do not understand.”
