A vampire knight. A fated princess. Twelve nights of Yule to fall in love.

Princess Ilyra was never meant to rule, let alone become the heart of a sacred pact older than her crown. As the youngest daughter, she expected to spend Yule tucked into castle corners, left to her quiet studies—and to humor Lord Myrren, her father's favored suitor. But when the vampire envoy arrives cloaked in crimson and kneels before her alone, Ilyra is thrust into a ritual bond that demands courtship, protection… and something dangerously close to devotion.

Ser Virelle, an ancient vampire knight bound by oath and centuries of service, came to Halden Court as part of an age-old truce. She expected duty, not desire—but the moment she meets Ilyra, something stirs. The princess bears the scent of the covenant, marking her as Virelle's fated mate. And Virelle? She is bound to her now, by blood and vow, until the final Yule fire burns to ash.

Together, they must navigate a court glittering with candlelight and deception, where the twelve nights of Yule are as perilous as they are enchanting.

As desire builds beneath snow and silk, one question remains: Can love survive the fire lit by fate, or will it consume them both?

A Vow Cold and Kindled is a standalone steamy sapphic vampire romantasy novella with a full arc and an HEA. It's part of an interconnected world, but can be enjoyed on its own. Some tropes you'll find inside: fated mates; vampire knight/human princess; masc/femme; forbidden romance; protective FMC; yule setting; touch-starved vampire falls first; court intrigue.
