Bloodstained by Jenika Snow

Ivan Tepes was once a powerful prince. But betrayal

broke his world and took the only thing that made

him human... his wife.

Now, for centuries, he lived in the shadows, a

monster of myth and whispered superstition. Blood

was his only solace, violence his only language.

Eternity was his curse.

In rage and despair, Ivan gave himself to the

darkness, trading his soul for immortality and

becoming something monstrous in the hopes one

day his one true love would return to him.

And then there was Clara. An identical reincar‐

nation of his wife, Mircalla. She bore a new name, a

new life without the memories of them that he held,

but her soul was the same. He'd found her again,

and this time, he wouldn't let her go.

Clara feared him. Yet beneath the terror was

something else-an echo of what they once were to

each other. He was her captor, but soon, she'd

remember the lover, husband, and man who killed

in her memory just to ease the undying pain her

absence left.

She would be his again even if he must drag her

across the threshold of light and shadow to

keep her.Their story was one of obsession and betrayal,

but underneath all of it was a love so relentless it

de!ed death itself.

A dark, gothic, and romantic reimagining where

Dracula meets Nosferatu.
