Synopsis
Slaying the Vampire Conqueror is a standalone novel set in the Crowns of Nyaxia world, following Sylina, a trained assassin devoted to the goddess of fate, who is tasked with infiltrating the army of Atrius, a vampire conqueror laying waste to her homeland. Posing as his seer, Sylina works her way into his inner circle in order to kill him, but the closer she gets, the more she uncovers a darker history behind him, one that unsettlingly mirrors wounds from her own past. As her attraction to Atrius grows against every vow she has sworn, Sylina is caught between her order's unambiguous command that he cannot be allowed to live and a connection that threatens to undo her entirely, setting up a story of forbidden romance played out against a backdrop of conquest and dark curses.
