A spicy paranormal romance novel—inspired by the Casket Girls—featuring the original vampyr and his daughters, set in New Orleans and building upon the world of Kraven’s Dark Fates series, for fans of Bride by Ali Hazelwood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels by Charlaine Harris.Memory is in the blood. In the shadowed world beneath the city’s music, masks, and midnight rituals, Vlad Dracul reigns. Ancient and bound by blood and magic, he is the original vampyr—protector of his daughters, the Casket Girls, and keeper of a fragile peace among rival clans. His past is carved by centuries of desire and loss, and by one woman he has never forgotten. Enter Reine. A bartender with an artist’s eye and a soul older than it should be, Reine is drawn into a forbidden night where vampire politics, Otherworlders, and dangerous magic collide. One glance is enough. Vlad sees the echo of a buried love—and a temptation that could ignite war. What follows is not a simple romance, but a collision of obsession, memory, and fate. Desire turns lethal. Blood becomes intimate. Loyalties fracture as ancient rivalries flare, and the line between protection and possession dissolves. Reine doesn’t remember Vlad—but her dreams and art betray a bond that refuses to stay buried. Spanning centuries and pulsing with heat, Blood & Bedlam is a decadent, high-stakes paranormal romance where love survives lifetimes—and New Orleans becomes a gothic playground for monsters who refuse to remain in the dark.
