Bøker av Keary Taylor

Alivia once led a House full of immortal vampires, but now everything has been stripped away. Her friends have turned their backs on her, convinced she betrayed them and their Born kind. Taken prisoner to the King's Court, she awaits her trial. But the sins of her father threaten to blacken her chances of clearing her name. Alivia toyed with King Cyrus' heart-and now, he's going to make her pay. Perhaps with her life. Hidden in the belly of the castle, truths will come to light, and the surface of the King's brutality and the horrors of the castle have barely been scratched. Prepare to be judged...

Alivia's father left her a letter before he died, begging her to stay away from the King and the Royals. But it was a plea made in vain. She never could have run from this life, not when she might be Cyrus' resurrected queen. The King has arrived in Silent Bend and with him, he brought the end to Alivia's mortal life. Uncontrollable bloodlust and an ever-shifting world rule her nights now. These twisted politics are deadly enough, but now her heart is the newest battleground. There's no hiding from the one who hates everything she was born to, a spy who embraces everything she's become, and a King who vies for someone she may soon remember. The games have begun. The House of Conrath is growing. Blood will be shed, the bodies will fall. Alliances will be tested and old enemies look like harmless children compared to the new ones rising from the shadows.

Every town has its history and skeletons, but Silent Bend, Mississippi's are darker than most. Ruled from the shadows by the House-the immortal Born and their aging, enslaved Bitten-everyone knows not to go out after dark and that the police will never look into crimes involving blood. Alivia Ryan didn't know the man who claims to be her father through a will even existed until she inherits the Conrath plantation. Instead of the sleepy house she expects, she finds a mansion and a staff who look at her with fear in their eyes. Ian Ward tried to kill Alivia the first time they met, and then insisted he train her to defend herself against the House, who he claims will try to manipulate and take her in for their own political reasons. And the growing attraction between them will threaten their lives-Ian is a sworn enemy of the House. In Silent Bend, people disappear, the threat of a demented King and the legend of his resurrecting Queen hang over everyone's heads, and proving loyalty means far more than blood. You'd better watch who you trust in this town...

The town of Silent Bend is about to explode into a war. Alivia swore to take the House from Jasmine after what she did, but it won't happen without retaliation. The whole town is caught in the crosshairs of their manipulation and the body count is climbing. The explanation for Ian's change is one he just can't accept. To Alivia, it should fix all their problems, but Ian has become everything he hates most. And Liv accepting her fate and position will test their relationship to the breaking point. The threat of the King's arrival looms just weeks away, and Alivia knows he will kill her as soon as he comes. She'll need supporters at her side-immortal ones. And that means turning old enemies into loyal subjects...

Alivia has returned to Silent Bend, and the House of Conrath is stronger than it has been in centuries. She knows exactly who she is as a leader, and those that surround her are loyal-family willing to die for one another. She will need each and every one of them, because an army has been building in the dark, biding its time, ready to break out into civil war. The tension between the Born and the Bitten could crumble the entire monarchy. It's a revolution that may leave no survivors. With an ancient key in hand, Alivia is about to unlock the final secrets to the Conrath legacy, and discover the answers to every question she's had from the very beginning. The truth isn't always what it seems...

The Chicago Night Council has been working for decades to make this city a safe haven for our kind, but the person who could tear it all down just showed up on our doorstep. Orlando Badillo bears the answers to Roman's past, but finding a long-lost relative isn't a blessing when he brings with him a lineage we never expected and a duty Roman never asked for. If Orlando uncovers the truth about our actions within the city, it will unleash chaos that could prove fatal for us all. It's a game of diversion, false stories, and clandestine meetings, but when I fall pawn to this dangerous dance on eggshells, Roman must strike a deal with the person he'd most like to behead right now: Sebastian. Emotions were raw before, but things have changed, and now Sebastian's accusations are manifesting into reality. I never saw it coming, but somehow, I've fulfilled Archer King's last prophesy. Roman and I would have gladly killed each other at one point, but that all changed when we became the keepers of one another's deepest secrets. Our bond has grown, defying all odds. For the first time, I've discovered soul-binding authenticity and true emotional intimacy with the most unexpected partner. Love and loyalty come in many dangerous forms. How far does allegiance stretch when your heart has been broken? Who can you truly trust when the danger puts everyone you've ever cared for in mortal peril? The city's future teeters on a knife's edge, and someone will have to step forward to protect it, even if it means paying the ultimate price.

My life has never been simple or easy, but now it's gone completely haywire. I severely underestimated how much Sebastian was juggling, and now that he's gone missing, it's all landing on my shoulders. The hospital, the blood trade, and a position on the council-they're all mine now, whether I'm ready for them or not. Things get infinitely more complicated when the Superintendent of Police launches an investigation into Sebastian's disappearance, and I'm her primary suspect. She thinks I killed Sebastian so I could take everything I now have. Even more? She fully believes Roman and I were having an affair, and we offed him so we could be together. And it's getting near impossible to convince anyone any different. Relationships change. The person I once feared most in this city is now the one I trust most. How many times can you save someone's life before everyone thinks you're in love with him? How many times until you start to question if the rumor is that far from the truth? I have a ward full of comatose vampires who are relying on me to find a way to wake them up. The entire supernatural population of Chicago is at risk. I do not have time to land in jail. This wicked heart of mine needs to stop making my life so complicated.
