🩸 ABOUT THE BOOK

Life in the dangerous Thorn district is a constant struggle for Arvelle and her younger brothers. Then a vampire arrives at her doorstep with an impossible choice.

To save her family, Arvelle makes a magically binding vow to kill the emperor—an ancient vampire created by the god Umbros.

But first, she must survive the Sundering, a brutal arena where only the strongest and deadliest fighters have a chance of earning a place in the emperor’s elite guard.

As Arvelle enters the emperor’s court, she catches the attention of the Primus, the powerful vampire tasked with protecting the emperor. But beneath his armor is a man she never expected to see again—the one who once shattered her heart.

With her brothers’ lives at stake, Arvelle is forced to form dangerous alliances with two vampires whose motives are impossible to trust.

As mysterious powers begin to awaken within her, Arvelle must uncover a conspiracy that could change everything she thought she knew about herself, her enemies, and the two vampires tied to her destiny.

We Who Will Die is perfect for readers who love romantasy, vampire romance, slow-burn tension, enemies-to-lovers dynamics, deadly competitions, powerful magic, and morally gray characters.
