The Fall of Kings (The Line of Tepes)

The world hasn't changed, but Emma King has.

Since her grandmother's death, Emma has learned a thing or two. The monsters she once watched in late night B-movie marathons are now her only help against the shadowy organization she has fought her whole life to escape. Now, Emma must confront the truth she never saw coming.

Vampires are real and they might be the only family she has left.

Her most formidable allies in the struggle against her mother's power-hungry death cult are more dangerous than she could have ever imagined. Vlad and his coven have waged a war against the Order for centuries, clinging to the veil of anonymity their secret affords them. As Emma's mother becomes more and more unhinged, she risks revealing the presence of vampires to the human world. With civilian lives caught in the crossfire, it's up to Emma and the coven to save the city from the wrath of The Order. Caught between her mother's violent standoff with police and her growing feelings for one of the coven's most imposing vampires, Emma prepares for the inescapable battle ahead.

In a world full of monsters there will always be blood.

As Emma's fledgling relationship with Sevystian blossoms so does her fear that her humanity might be one weakness too many. Does Emma have the strength to bring down her mother or will she let the city fall into the hands of the Order? Faced with that impossible question Emma must ask herself:

What is the cost of peace?
