Kingly Bitten

<p><em>Once upon a time, humankind ruled the world while lycans and vampires lived in secret.</em></p><p><em>This is no longer that time.</em></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Calina</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span>I have thirty-six hours to live.</span></p><p><span>Thirty-six hours to find a solution.</span></p><p><span>Thirty-six hours to kill them all.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>My friends. My family. My subjects.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>It's a cruel fate, one my maker subjected me to over a century ago when she placed me in this hell. I learned then that freedom is a falsehood. Escape doesn't exist. I'm a ticking time bomb, slated to erupt.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Until </span><em>he</em><span> appears from above. A vampire. A walking god with icy blue eyes. He claims to be our salvation, but I see him for who he really is--the devil in disguise.</span></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Jace</strong></p><p><br></p><p><span>I don't want to be king, but I'll become one if it means I can have </span><em>her--</em><span>the gorgeous ice queen I found waiting for me inside Lilith's labs. She feigns indifference, claiming I do nothing for her, but I see the embers stirring in her stunning hazel eyes.</span></p><p><br></p><p><span>Only there's more to her than a pretty little face.</span></p><p><span>She's neither vampire nor lycan.</span></p><p><span>An immortal without a classification.</span></p><p><span>A secret I must now contain in a world collapsing in chaos.</span></p><p><br></p><p><em>Welcome to the new beginning.</em></p><p><em>My name's King Jace. Allow me to be your guide...</em></p><p><br></p>
