I am defenseless against you, vsenia. My will, my strength, my life are yours. Command me as you will. -Rune
Invoking the Blood is Kalista Neith's debut novel.
Summary
Faye agreed to her sister’s brilliant idea to sneak into the Hunter’s Moon ball. A night the vampires in attendance held sacred, lusting under the eerie glow of the blood red moon. Faye was no vampire. She wasn’t even a race that possessed magic. Her ceremony failed, marking her an Anarian. A mortal without magic.
After a run in with the Shadow Prince, Faye begins dreaming of him. His yearnful gaze leaves her feeling cherished after she wakes. A pleasant daydream, since men like him didn’t exist. Not for women like her.
But as days pass and the dreams intensify, the Shadow Prince comes for her. His gaze filled with the same yearning he held for her during their shared dreams. Until he realizes she’s an Anarian.
Abducted and confined in his home in Hell, Faye is left only with his promise to release her after he breaks the tie binding his life to hers. But with each heated exchange she can almost see the man that longed for her in her dreams.
The one who cherished her and tempted her heart.
Now I can not express how much I loved this book. Kalista Neith has built a world where the matriarchy is the rule. And consent is key. We love a consent king. And the Shadow King, even as powerful as he is, is all about consent.
This story has aspects of Hades and Persephone and the world building is great. Kalista grabs your attention and doesn't let you go. Her writing leaves you want to read more of her work in the best way. And lucky for us she is writing a series so we will have plenty to love.
I love her characters they leave you laughing, crying, and relating so much to them and their dynamic with each other. I read this story as an ARC and I couldn't put it down. I was. glued to my seat and wanted to absorb as much in as possible.
I highly suggest picking up your copy of her book today.
